    Has anyone retro fit the Allison electronics gunnel mount??

    How sturdy is it? How easy is it to install? Price? My Pro Elite is an '11 model.

    Thanks,
    Russell Mays

    Shouldnt be an issue. I would use fairly large washers on the bottom side since the older boats are not reinforced woth Aluminum in that area.

    I like my mount. Mine is installed on a 2013 as well and is rock solid. I have a 12 inch unit on it.

    Do you have a unit installed in the dash? Reason I ask is if not then why not just mount your unit on a mount like Tim Powell is using to put it behind the steering wheel but not flush mounted? Our dashes are too small for flush mounting a large unit so using a mount like Tim's will put it in finger touch reach. If I were to ever buy a new XB21 I'd have Allison keep the dash solid and mount 1 big ass unit like Tim's so I didn't need 2 at the helm.

    I am not a fan of the gunnel mount personally. But I have a few options for mounting on the dash depending on your current setup.

    If I win the lottery or happen upon a pocket full of spare cash then yes I will be a new one. Unfortunately I don't play the lottery and every day I reach into my pockets and all I've been pulling out is spare change and lint!!!!
