    I have the same boat. I replaced the x52 with a lms520 and put a lms510 on the bow. I used a roto zip to cut the openings bigger.

    Thanks for the advice, I think that's what I may go back with.

    I replaced mine with the Humminbird 383 Combo. Color sonar and GPS, bolted into the cutout without modification. H'Bird designed this as a direct replacement.
