    bolt patter - turret bracket

    I'm looking for the bolt pattern on a Ghost under the 360 Breakaway knuckle. I've spoken to Lowrance and they will not supply me the CAD and have ignored the request for just the bolt pattern dimensions. I didn't realize that the bolt placement there was so important

    If anyone has done something similar and can share the pattern I'd really appreciate this.

    There are multiple bolt patterns. The Ghost can utilize existing holes from a Motorguide or MinnKota and possibly others. Not clear what you are wanting. There are 12 holes in the base, any 6 of them could be utilized in a brand new installation.

    He wants the bolt pattern where you add accessories like an electric FFS pole or MEGA 360=== like this:

    Ashmore Marine makes a cable guide that uses the same bolt pattern; maybe they can help you.

    Chizler62 got the dimensions for you. If you are making a bracket, there is a full scale template in this file that may be helpful.

    Note: I've found that regardless of source file, my printer doesn't print to the exact dimensions of the PDF's. Others may experience similar. I found that the most accurate was to use transfer screws for the exact dimensions of the holes (M8x1.25). The printed copy can give you a rough idea of the shape and where to drill any big cutout holes and then use the transfer screws to hit the exact drill locations for the M8 bolts.

    This is how I picked up the mounting hole locations for the Lowrance Ghost. I took a cardboard template to the marine dealer and used transfer screws to make an indentation in the cardboard at each hole location. I use transfer screws and transfer punches quite often.
