    What should I put in my dash in place of the flasher that I am removing?

    I don't use the flasher. It's disconnected. I could leave it, but you know that is. Is there something else that would fit in that slot that would be a good addition to my cluster of guages?

    I am not sure if a water temp guage or hour meter would fill up the hole? Great guages to have! If not I may look for a nice clock to put in there?

    It has never lost position or gave me any type of troubles....the only thing that it has done is where the two connector pieces connect jarred itself a little loose and I got the "GPS module not responding" note....tightened them back up...problem solved.

    I had a Zercom flasher that did not work...did not have to cut at all plus the metal bracket that held the flasher held the gps puck as well I will have to measure how big the hole was.

    Hook the flasher back up and use while your running. On unfamiliar water mine is never shut off.

    I would consider an LMF-400 for fuel management duty. I love that system when linked to the my Lowrance 332.

    I didn't order a flasher when I ordered my boat so I have a hole plug cover. Check with C+ O they probably have one. It is a 3" + hole cover.

    I like Mig's idea, but wonder what that would cost. I could also use the fuel management system on my 520c, I think. I am starting to think I should just hook it back up and use start using it... Seems silly to "search" for something to spend money on to fill a hole in the dash...

    I took my x-135 out and bought the carbon fiber plate from C&O designed to cover the opening. Looks good and cheap solution.

    Miguel,
    I thought so too. I had a speedo hole to fill. Since I already have a networked LCX25 and a 332c I now realize it was overkill and a waste of money. I never use the LMF-400. I can monitor what I need to on the LCX25.
    Darin, I left the flasher in my 1998 203 as a backup, like Jack says.
    If I had it to do over I would use the cover Fred mentioned.
    That GPS mount is pretty slick, Brett.
