I need a dash mount for my 08 cougar ae. Currently have a dash HB 788 and am looking to mount my Onix 8Ive been waiting for 2.5 months for a Sherms mount but as of last week hasnt started making it yet. Is he usually this late with product deadlines? I know hes a busy guy but I dont know how much longer I can wait for my electronics Any other suggestions on another mount or company to custom build one? BCB Added: Folks, most of us never read comments about graphs mounts at the factory. On this one we wish we had read it sooner. Sherm built the mounts for his customer and personal use as an option and they are time consuming. Its just a doodad he thought would be nice when mounts out there were not where they are now. The recent turn to larger graphs left many in a lurch as to what options they have on upgrading, thus Sherm offered this for his customers and it grew some to where he began getting demand for the mounts. It really was not the intent or him and he got inundated. Sherm is having a tough year this year with a staff member moving to another field, and he is doing most of the shop work that man once had. His intent is to hire another technician, though thats the #1 most needed thing in our industry now. No one seems to have enough technicians that they can depend on to do it right. Many do graduate from the technical schools, though are fundamentally unqualified to stand alone without intense supervision. Presently we have at least 6 dealerships now looking for technicians. Most try to start a youngster and they seldom last through to get into engine schools, thus after about 6 months they restart and hire another youngster, then the process starts over. We know Sherm has the best of intent and while he is in this position he will be hard to catch and sharing time with sales and service, as well as customer relations.Last edited by Aruss1984 on June 29th, 2016, 12:40 pm, edited 2 times in total.
Call precision sonar. Randy is a good dude and will get you hooked up right away
i used a precision sonar mount on my Eyra, its the one on his site (he has several Cat models with his brackets). I got it within a few days, easy to install, and it adjusts to fit any size graph or brand of graph. Should last the life of the boat that way.
i got the “Smart Bracket”, a little more expensive but with the adjustments and ability to fit any brand graph totally sold me. : http://precisionsonar.com/sonar-product … onsole.htm
no he is not usually that late. Have you called and talked to them on the phone? Im pretty certain they cranked mine out within a week back in April so something must be wrong. Id call. I dont think email and websites are their strong suit, but they do have great service if you just call them.
Mine was a few days late – but there was an email issue. Called him at the store and had the unit in 2-3 days after I re-sent the order form.
Sherm is extremely busy since to lost his main mechanic.As far as Randy, never liked the dude….PERIOD.
I use a sherm mount as well. When I ordered mine it was a quick turn around. I live in ala. I even order my merc parts from him. They are good folks to deal with.2013 PANTERA 2MERCURY 200 PRO XSMINNKOTA 80LB FORTREX25 fury
He did say he was down a mechanic and I know he is very busy. I know making these mounts arent his main priority just a bit frustrating as the customer especially because Ive called a few times. I spoke to custom fabricator friend of mine who can probably make something for me so I guess ill give it a couple more weeks as I cant fish anyways during that time. If Sherm gets to it done by mid July thats fine, if not Ill have to cancel my order because I cant wait much longer
I ordered a Sherms Mount and waited for 2 months. I called and the fella who answered said there were 8 orders ahead of mine. I promptly cancelled my order and sold both of my helix 9s
