    Z500 series with Apex 19" or 16" @ console??

    Looking for anybody that has mounted a single Apex 19" or 16" unit at the console of their Z500 series boat. I have a 2012 that I'm seriously looking to go to a 19" Apex unit at the console. Wondering how it fits, what mount is used, etc. Would go to a 16" if the bigger one just won't work out. If there's any out there, looking for pics to if you got em!

    I have an Apex 19 at the console on a BBT mount. It's the same height as the top of the windshield (looks can be deceiving in the pics) and I have no problems seeing what's in front of me.

    Also, here are some pics of my previous 2018 Z520L with a Solix 15 (similar size of an Apex 16) at the console. I eventually went with a BBT mount for it because it kept coming loose being flush mounted.

    Very nice setup you have there! The taller/deeper consoles on the newer series boats are really designed around the big unit setups. My 2012 has the smaller profile console and doesn't have the setback upper portion, so I'm really concerned with how it would fit.

    Thanks.

    Check out the BBT website, Van has more pics there.
