    Custom electronics on Ranger 198P

    Does anyone have a large (9+ inch) graph on the bow of their RT198P? Just wondering what it'd look like. Also, do you have an aftermarket mount at the bow to hold a 10/12"?


    I'm thinking specifically looking at Humminbird to use in conjunction with a Fortrex. Thanks!

    Good to know, JV. Many thanks. Seems like there are good options for upgrading.
