you don't actually raise the pod to the max, only enough to see your electronics. i have twin garmin 5212's mounted. absolutely no issues. i'm 5'5". good luck, ron
Yes you can see the gauges. If the box is lifted up to the max, I loose the ability to see the engine display. That being said I never raise it that high, so its not an issue. I also like the ability to lower the screens a little as it helps with seeing the screens at certain sun angles.
It was/is and issue for me (2-Garmin 5212s) unless I keep the screens low. Now I often put the gauges on one of the screens via an NMEA 2K network if I'm not hunting with sonar.
