    RT188 and cell phone? Has anyone come up with a good phone pocket/mount?

    I have recently purchased an rt188... And while out on the water breaking in the motor, I realized that there isn't any good safe location for my phone, that also makes it readily accessible for that fish picture/conference call etc. I would certainly appreciate seeing pictures of your phone solution... TIA

    I keep mine in a Pelican 1060 case. Perfect size and it also fits my wallet and keys. Getting the phone out to take a picture is not an issue. Mine stays in the coin box in my 198 but its small enough to go anywhere.

    I have one of these, mounted with double sided tape to the console. The base of the phone rests on the base of the steering wheel and I can view my phone under my graph.

    I just used the cup holder. Never had an issue.

    We use these on our Mountain Bikes and I am thinking of putting one on my RT188 or I could just keep putting it in the glove box.

    I either throw mine on the floor under the console or in my rod box. I wear an Apple Watch so taking calls isn’t an issue.
