My Fish finder and dashboard install (pics)

Hello everyone,

Just finished my Fish Finder and dash board install on my Manta ray 12 and thought i'd share some pics.

Let me know what you guys think 

Looks good. Can I suggest rounding out the corners on that board?

Looks Good.  Are you able to reach it to make adjustments to the FF/GPS?  (mark waypoints, adjust settings, etc)

Definitely Piski.... You're right, those things are sharp as heck!

Thanks FFTC!

Yes, that was one thing I made sure of. I can reach it just by slightly leaning forward.

I'd mount a beer coozie on there too.

Looks good Abel.  Did you mount to track using yakattack mightybolts?  I find them pretty nice but also pretty expensive. I'm working on a similar project to span some rails but for mounting something that is NOT a fishfinder on my Slayer.

Nice rigging.  Thanks for sharing Abel.

Why on earth didn't I think of that?!?!

Coming soon!

I did, and you're right, they are way to expensive! I thought of making my own but felt it wasn't worth the hassle...

Oh, and a little suggestion for those thinking of building a dash using marine board like I did. Use 1/2" or thicker. I used 3/8" and it flexes under the weight of the FF.

I've learned recently that 1/4 or 5/16 toilet bolts work for track as well. Problem is they only come in 2.5" length so you need to cut them down.

Oh wow!

I just looked those up. I can definitely imagine those doing the job... I wouldn't mind a little cutting to save a few bucks.

did you get starboard at TAP? I ended up buying hardwood for my mount that I'm working on instead of starboard because I was worried about the flex and what m mounting is heavier with a lot more stress.

I did. Paid 30something for a 35''x18'' piece of 3/8'' starboard. That stuff aint cheap!!

The starboard may be fine for your application as long as you up the thickness. It's expensive, but it looks good and will last forever!!!
