2022 z518 - What are my bow mounting options for two Lowrance Lives (9” and 12”)?

[bman5150]

Going to install a 12” Lowrance Live or Pro on the bow for FFS. I have also have a Lowrance Ghost. What do other z518 owners that have two units mounted on the bow use as far as mounts go?

If Bass Boat Technologies has one to fit they’re nice, I have on on my 2016 Z518.

bbt is what I did at the bow and precision sonar at the dash

The BBT one is interesting-so theirs must replace the bow panel plate and mounts to that then I guess. I like having it in that location vs closer to me but feel like a two stacked units would possibly interfere with my Ghost.

I have precision sonars dual mount on my 518. 12” helix and 10” garmin. The over and under mount with the bow replacement panel, big water mounting kit and the donut wedge for the L boat. Expensive but solid.

everything is bbt but graph of course. their plate is real thick and sturdy--cover fits fine also which may be an issue with 2 graphs there

any chance you could post or PM me a couple photos of your bow setup? I’m particularly interested in seeing yours since it’s a dual setup like I plan to have. I can also PM you my cell if that’s easier than posting photos on this forum. Thx

Here is a pic of two HDS 12 Live units on a Bass Boat Technologies set up with a Ghost installed.

I would like to see pics as well. In addition, what is the big water mounting kit and the donut vtbuck you refer to?
thanks

Here is the wedge-it basically allows you to square the graphs up to the centerline of the boat as the mounting plate in an L boat is angled.

Here is the big water mounting/fastener kit

If I didn’t post the links correctly, at least it will give you a path to find them on precision sonars website.

Here's a dual BBT mount on a Z519 with Ghost TM. The mount is NOT the off-set option but rather I off-set the top gimbal bracket when mounting. The off-set option would interfere with the trim controls. No interference when stowing/deploying the TM.IMG_1057 2023-12-08 01_01_07 - Copy.jpg
