    278 DC owner questions....

    For you fellow 278 owners, is there currently a fishfinder that will fit in the space currently occupied by my 10 year old eagle? I would like to upgrade, but would rather not have to gimble mount a new one on the side of the console. If you have any recommendations, I would appreciate it. Ultimately I would like to find a gps/sonar combo that would fit, but I doubt that will happen.

    Thanks
    Dan

    Thanks
