    Green Machine progress

    Been busy getting the green machine ready for its trip to Florida. If all goes well she should be road ready after tomorrow.


    Helix 12 MDI G3N and Ultrex 112/45/Link/MDI


    Helix 12 MSI G3N



    All units and troller are linked together, each unit has dedicated power straight from battery, console unit also has a transducer epoxied in the hull for depth at speed.

    Thanks to the bigger dash and bow area I was able to mount these units without the need for an extra mount.

    Looking like a fishing machine.
    Only bad thing about having a boat that everyone notices.
    When your on fish they all know where you were.

    Is the steering wheel on a quick detach setup or can a spacer be added?
    I don’t know anything about a Helix but if it’s a touch screen, it seems very limited for access.

    I was thinking the same thing. Looks kinda close to the wheel. Maybe cuz its a pic. Does allison still make the gunnel electronics mount? That's where mine is. I know Darris doesn't like things looking like they don't exactly belong there but I do like mine on the gunnel mount. Johnathon worked out that side mount if I remember. Theres metal in the gunnel to mount it and tap threads for the mount

    Another question...is it mandatory to have an eped installed or can it be left out with the area open?/ I ordered mine without an eped and it came with a bow panel cover closing the hole under the trim button and 12 volt plug

    Another thing you may want to ask the factory to install Tim is the retractable rod buckle in the gunnel before its all foamed in

    No quick detach wanted or needed. A spacer is available but I did not want it on this build.

    There is plenty of space between the wheel and screen. The helix is not touch screen either.

    I am not a fan of the gunnel mount, I can feel the unit pulling the boat at speed when mounted out to the side.

    The newer foot well is great!

    Ive been working on factory installed rod straps....one battle at a time!
    The E-Ped is still optional.

    We owners do appreciate your input and forward thinking!!! Keep up the good work!!
    The first one I drove with the Gunnel mount and HDS 12 was MET's (Michael Thomas) XB21. I could definitely feel it in the 80s.

    Another thing I didnt like is how it limited your vision to the stbd side.

    I can’t stop looking at the boat. It’s different and really pops, I’ve always been a fan of unique when it’s done right and you nailed it.
