    Console mounting options

    So I'm putting an HDS12 and HDS9 at the console and am torn on how to mount them. Either side by side or one on a Ram mount. Thoughts?

    Hmm I’m kinda torn between the two. The 2nd option with the 9” on the side mount is probably what I would go with though. I’ve got a 5” in dash with a 7” Ram mounted to the right side and it works good

    I would go with the bracket option. I'm set up similar and like it.

    Bracket, talk to Randy @ Precision Sonar. When you change your unit it will be easier, and for your next buyer.

    So you say 12 on the bracket and 9 on the Ram?

    I say get a dual and go SxS.

    Actually not sure if your 2011 Ranger will allow it. Talk to Randy he can give you some ideas.

    I was never happy with any Ram mount.

    Thanks for the suggestions, I am going to go single precision mount for the 12 and a Balzout mount for the 9.
    I dislike the mismatched graph size side by side and (2) 12s are overkill for me.

    I think you’ll be happy with your setup. How are you planning on running them? Mapping on the 9” and sideview/2d on the 12”??
