Upsizing electronics on Basscat console

[cal z20]

Been looking at several Cats. If I want to install a bigger flush mount unit in the driver's console is it just a matter of cutting a bigger hole? Some have 7" and I would want a newer bigger unit.
Thanks

Yep - that’s what I did

Ok just making sure there is nothing additional needed.
Thanks

Depends on the Basscat's console. The newer style with the graph mounted in the middle will take the larger graph. The older ones, with the graph mounts to the right side will not flush mount the larger units.

Depends on model and year.

On the link above, there is one on the red 2007 Cougar that I was referring to as the "older" units.

I have the first Precision Sonar mount pictured with an HDS12. Now that I am changing out units, it is nice to know that no additional holes or modifications are needed for my new units.

Call Sherm, get a Sherm's mount.

Thats one of the reasons I will never flush mount again. With a mount like that if you have the same unit up front you can swap around if you have an issue with one of them. Its also easier for me to reach the screen or buttons when driving. You can also change the angle for different lighting. You can swap units without cutting holes etc.

What about those of us with the smaller flush mounted graphs? We don't have as much area for a large mount, but I would still like to have my Onix 10 mounted on the console. I've looked at the Sherm's mount and I like it, but seems like there is a long wait to get one. The precision Sonar ones above look really big - do you offer a smaller version that would fit and still hold a 10" graph?

Thanks!

I've got a P2, 2007 so same dash. I had Sherm make me a mount several years ago for my HDS 7's. I just switched to HB and with a little modification it holds my 9" Helix just fine. I'm not sure about the Onix but the 10" Helix is the same physical size as the 9" (I've got a 10" at the bow).

Thanks, I guess I need to call Sherm's...I've filled out their online form twice and not gotten any response. I'm sure he is busy now, but hopefully will slow down some over the winter to make me one!

I’d use a mount like Bass Bost Technologies, Precision, Sonsr, etc. Rutgers than flush mount and cut out a huge hole. Then if you change units, get a bigger one, it’s a non issue. I really like my Bass Boat Technologies Mount and the only holes are the ones for the screws to mount the plate.

I've always just given him a call. He is a busy guy and I know he messed up his shoulder not long ago but he's always really helpful and will get back to you pretty quick.

I use Bass Boat Technologies on my bow and console and really like them. Quick response and great customer service.

+1 for Sherm
