Topic: Need advice for Lowrance bow unit on 09P-II

Participant

I am considering getting a new Lowrance HDS unit for the front of my 2009 P-II. I already have one HDS5 with lake insight from a previous boat that Im going to use on my 09 BassCat (by the way I am loving this new boat!) Due to my eyes not being what they used to be I would like to get one of the larger units. How large of a unit can I install in the bow of a 2009 P-II without causing clearance problems? I have a motorguide 82lb with the foot pedal mounted in the recess. What is the largest HDS unit that will fit in the dash/console? (I might just have to go with the additional mounts like the gimbal or ram mounts). Thanks!FISH ON!

I have an LCX 26 in the front of the boat on the bow with a mount and I also have an LCX 38 in the driver console on a gimbal mount. I like that I can take them off anytime and store them in the truck or garage. I put them on the boat when I arrive at the lake and then take them off when I leave the lake and put them in the truck. I also like the fact that if one unit goes out, (which it did) I can just move the other unit so I can have it where I need it for the fishing. These toys we have are very expensive and I like to have my stuff secured when not in use. I look at them like laptop computers the less pounding they take, they usually last longer. I have been told by many folks to not leave them on the boat when traveling on roads. I dont know what size will fit in the front because mine have been mounted on the gimbals. Its good to hear the you are enjoying your BCB, I really like my Cougar!
