    BBT mount installed RangerZ521--Awesome!

    Want to give a shout out to Van at BBT. Customer service is very important to me and there is no better. Moreover, his product is amazing. Wish I had better lighting but we all know what they look like.

    I ran the St. Johns river 98 miles two days ago and these mounts held up perfectly. Finally, super supportive of us military folk.

    In your bow mount..... how is that held firmly? That bow panel is not the sturdiest..... I have a '12 521 and I have several screws that are stripped out.
    I went with Precision Sonar because it mounts to the floor.... I do wish it was up and out a tad more like yours though

    BBT also offers a floor mount for the bow with two different angles to choose from.

    Sir, I have the same year also. I got the bow replacement panel. If you screws are stripped you can contact VAN and have it custom so you can start new screw holes on the bow replacement and just leave the stripped ones alone IMO.

    looks good if you really want to make that bow mount even more rock solid order some gimbal bracket savers from Van reinforces the thin bracket from Lowrance and adds a little bling to your set-up.
