    The guys at Tacticalbassin (search Youtube) are running these on their bows and consoles. They have videos specific to their reviews and show the units on their boats. IMO they aren't too crazy big with their set-up.

    I have a Solix 15 for my bow, and a 12 on my console. The 15 was too big for the console but works really nice on the bow. The 12 is perfect for the console. I had these on my Z18, and am in the process of transferring them to my new Z21.

    I have a 15 on a Ram mount to the side of my console and also have a 12 attached to the console using the included gimbal. The 12 fits perfectly there. It doesn’t cover up any of my SmartCraft gauges. I didn’t like the 15 at the console although I know a lot do like them there. I didn’t want to spend the money on a Precision mount since I already had a Ram mount from my previous units so I just mounted it to the side. I also have a 15 installed on a mount that sits over the trolling motor tray. This setup is perfect for me until they come out with a 26” unit with a Dish option.
    Have a Blessed Day,

    I have a 15 flush mounted at the console, then a 15 on a BBT mount at the bow...

    So far so good, not too big...

    Is it possible to flush mount the 15 in the console of a 2018 521C? Is the console on the L larger than the Cup Series?

    I run a 15 on the dash and bow and love this setup - prefer it over multiple graphs at either location.

    I have a 15 on the bow along with a 10 and 12 on the console. If I had it to do over again I would do a 10 and 12 on the bow.

    The images on the 15 don't have the clarity of the other two which I assume is because the resolution is the same as the 12 stretched across the larger screen. With the 360 it's noticeable, not so much with the other screens.

    FWIW I ran the 15 and 12 on the console for awhile and the 12 is much cleaner on mega IMO.
