    Garmin depth finders

    Hey guys I have a 2002 xb21 2+2 that has Garmin depth finders and was looking for a replacement that would fit in its place. The one in the dash is a GPS map 178c Sounder and the one up front is a Fishfinder 250c. I was just curious if you know of any units that will fit in these locations. I really don't want to mount them on a ram mount, I would prefer the stock locations. I know this limits me but I was just wondering what options were out there. Thanks...

    Doubtful anything will fit flush mount with out major modification.
    I first went with ram mounts on the 999 series H-bird's. I now have Helix 12's with my own custom brackets.

    Nathan Goff just put a new finder in the dash of his 2+2. He researched it extensively and found a larger Garmin unit that fit. I sent him a text to pass along his information.

    Thank you guys, I know it limits my selection but I want to keep the dash as stock as I can. I just fish for fun and don't really have the need for all the larger displays that are out there.

    Sending you a private message. I just bought a Helix 7 for my aluminum boat and a Garmin Echomap 63CV for my kayak. If the Echomap can fit my dash. . . hmm!!
