What are my options here?

[BigSexyPhoenix]

Does anyone make an aftermarket piece that goes here or will I have to order from Phoenix? I'm fixing to mount a new graph up front on a Dek it mount so I'm pulling the 5 incher out.

Check Precision Sonar they might have something

Go to Home Depot and buy black plexiglass and cut out cover piece with a jig saw cheap and looks great

Or buy a black cutting board at WallyWorld and cut it to fit.

I will look into some of these options. Thanks guys.

I bought some 1/4" thick aluminum plate, cut it to size to fit, drilled and tapped as needed to mount a Ram Mount, and a couple holes for the wiring. Had it powder coated wrinkly to match the plastic surround around that opening. Then mounted the Ram Mount and HDS 9". Works great, gets the HDS up where it should be for easier reading and easier to reach the buttons to change whatever while fishing.

You have a picture? That sounds pretty good

On my dash, i made one out of aluminum plate from Lowe's and put a Dek-It mount and the front i made one from the marine starboard and mounted the gimble bracket to it.......only reason i didnt use marine starboard for the dash cause it was to thick and wasnt recessed like the bow.

I got a new plate from Phoenix not cut out. Wasn’t expensive at all.

Phoenix sells them. And I'm sure Randy makes one at precision. If he doesn't than Van at BBT has one. I got one from him awhile back.

Yup, somewhere on the computer. I thought I had a better one, guess I'll have to take another picture. The floor bracket in front of the Ram Mount isn't there anymore. For running down lake, I fold the Ram Mount down onto the pedal to be sure the depth finder isn't blocking my view.

Thanks guys. Looks like I have a few different ways to cover the hole.

I used some stuff my dad had from where he works that they make office signs with and it turned out pretty good.
