Anyone use this?

I am wanting to add a 10" helix to my console, and I dont want to RAM mount it if I dont have to. Has anyone used a product from the link below. I have a 2008 285xl, and it looks like it would work for my console.

I haven't used one, but at a glance I would say that other than your tach being partially covered it looks like it would work well for you.

i had van build it for me. no one else would help. i have one for a 1198 that may work for you if you're interested. he will make one without the holes for the gauges if you want. I use engine data via nmea so I don't need to see the gauges

How does it mount to your console? I have a 597 in the console now. Would I have to remove it?

yes you would have to remove any in dash unit

my installer built a custom backing plate for the initial bracket. Van built me a new bracket when i switched to the humminbird solix 15 and he provided a backing plate with it.

this is the backing plate my installer built




this is the new bracket that Van at BBT built



this is the backing plate

Seems like you would bust your knuckles constantly on the graph... Dan

theres plenty of room between the wheel and the unit. we added a spacer
