    2012 Ranger Z518 Dual Electronic

    Hi guys,
    I’m looking to install 2 helix 9 on my dash. Wondering if anyone has done it and will it work. Also, what brand of bracket?
    I was looking at the PROcise dual mount.

    Thanks.

    Bass Boat Technologies or Precision Sonar. Both make excellent dual mounts.

    I have a BBT mount for sale in the Swap and Sale section. It worked well on my 2012 Z520 and will fit your boat. Only selling because I got a new Z520C and needed a new BBT mount to fit the 2019. http://www.bbcboards.net/showthread.php?t=980490

    Both are good companies I went with Bass Boat Technologies as they have the units angled in towards the center and personally my opinion is they look better now that is just my opinion.

    I have been talking to Austin from Precision, he is working on the angled bracket for my model. I am waiting patiently, he may have others ready though.

    How hard is it remove the graphs? Why does it stick so far out on the left side?

    Graphs are super easy to remove. (Which I do every trip) And the main bar sticks out the same amount on both sides. I currently have HDS 9 Live units on the mount, but with the extra length it will accommodate 2 ea 12" units if I ever decide to upgrade.

    I recommend Precision Sonar. I have mounts at the helm and bow. Great customer service!

    Mine took a little longer than expected, but was well worth the wait.
