    CONSOLE MOUNTED UNITS FOR 2007-2008 STRATOS 201 OR 200 PRO XL

    Hey guys so I am fixing to mount a HDS Gen3 9 to the dash of my 07 201. Does any of you guys that have the same dash layout have a picture of how you mounted yours? Thanks for the help!

    Mine is on a ram mount also, 07 201xl. Dash doesn't seem to be laid out too well for flush mounted bigger screens. If you figure out how to do it, post a picture.

    I am working on it now. I should have it finished up hopefully this week or weekend. Will post pictures once its done. Its going to hold a Helix 10 on the console and I have a lowrance HDS 12 on a ram mount on the side.

    did you mount on top of the rubber matting material on the side of the console? If so what length arm did you use on the mount? I am fixin to upgrade electronic also on my 08 201 and lookin at kong or ram mount but don't know what lenghth arm to get either 9" or 12". Also is there room under the console to put nuts and washers to secure the mount. Thanks.

    my 294 console is same as yours. Mine is on the top of the console (the rubber area) and the 9" JUST gets it to the right spot. If i ever see a 12" decent price i'll swap cause closer is better!!

    Plenty of room under to get to nuts/bolts. Getting back up from under the console though is always harder than getting under it..... never figured out how that works....

    any good quality drill bit will work. reverse to get through the gel then forward through glass mat. good news is the rubber will easily hide future changes or mess ups (new rubber pad and its good as new).

    I mounted my helix 10 in exact location and went with the medium length ram arm. Sits there perfectly for me. And yes plenty of room for washers and nuts under there.

    I am mounting a 6 in balzout mount there. I almost have it finished. Getting it straight is a pain! Lol
