With this recent model of the Super Sport, I can't figure out a good location to mount the multi-function display. On my previous 1998 GL Super Sport, the mounting location was obvious since the console was fairly large. But on the 2016 130 SPORT model with a small rounded console, I am not sure where to mount the unit My take so far:
- in front of the steering wheel, which would seem to obscure visibility
- diagonally, using a RAM mount, to the right of the tachometer, but not sure if there is flat enough surface
- horizontally on the little bench seat to the right of the console, but would seem to be too low
- horizontally, using a RAM mount, from the starboard railing, which would seem to hang in space
- or some other manner
I'm also not sure if the 7-inch diagonal display screen models from Garmin or RayMarine models might overwhelm the small dimensions of the console which is why I mentioned the 4-inch or 50inch versions of these models.
To anyone who has a 2009-present year Super Sport and has added a GPS/FF to the cockpit:
Q1: which brand and which model model did you buy?
Q2: where did you mount it?
Q3: how did you mount it?
Any suggestions and photos would be most appreciated.
Here is the cockpit arrangement:
