I am looking for some suggestions for what others have done with a second GPS/Fishfinder/Charplotter. My 232's dash has an old C120 in and and there isn't room for a second display in there at the moment.

I'm not entirely sure I want the second unit in the electronics box, but am still debating it.

What have others done? Or maybe I should just sell it and use the cash elsewhere in the boat?

For reference it is a Garmin Echomap 95sv.


Thanks

Ram mount? This one has the cable manager base; makes for cleaner cable routing.


They can often be found on Amazon or eBay for lower than msrp.

From my dealing with larger boats and older ones I'm accustomed to multiple dedicated display. Radar, fish finder, chart plotter.

In my 268 Islander console there is only room form one Garmin 4210 MFD. I had a Garmin 4208 in the overhead and replaced it with a new Garmin 943xsv.

I typically run my sounder up top and navigation at the helm.
