  • A practical and affordable dash mount solution for getting rid of that old Lowrance Mark 5 on the Nitro Z-6 or similar dash configurations once and for all! No more janky compromises, or overpriced options from the big guys!

    Great job using the factory holes! That custom mount looked like you can do a pull up on it. Awesome DIY

      That 12 does look good also...lol I was almost stuck with that crusty 5" Lowrance or else doing a ram mount off the side drilling holes in the fiberglass. So glad I didn't give up and do that..

      The 10in just looks like it should be there and seemed to have less movement than the 12in when you were shacking it, great job either way!@@stephansmithoutdoors

      @@58dbeck33 I put the 12 on and off twice.. that was before I tightened the knobs.. both are rock solid secure.. but your right the 12 just looks a bit overwhelming on such a small console.. I always had plans for the 10 but wanted to show it would work with a 12..

    Can you provide a video on taking the steering wheel off? I want to replace my steering wheel but not sure how to proceed

    • @stephansmithoutdoors
      @stephansmithoutdoors  6 місяців тому +1

      So this particular wheel that is on mine had been upgraded by the previous owner.. It just has hex bolts that hold wheel on at the hub.. I just remove the bolts that encircle the wheel and it comes right off. The one that's on it is a 14" it works fine but to be honest I'd rather get one smaller cause of my size if I do find a new wheel I like I will do a video.

    I just ordered 2 93sv garmins for my 2013. I will be using this for sure. I just wonder if the bracket will work the same on the 9”?

    • @stephansmithoutdoors
      @stephansmithoutdoors  20 днів тому

      Got a subscriber that has done this and added a 93SV instead and sent me PIC's. So YES it will work. Just be mindful that those gimble brackets are plastic/ABS? As demonstrated I used just 2 bolts to secure cause of room and 106/126sv gimble being metal it was enough support. At the end of the day the principle is there you can figure out what you may need/want to do differently.. Welcome to the channel! Got other idea's that I've done.. and will do? Any questions just ask!

      Congrats on the new boat! I don't know exactly the dash setup of those or what's available in the way of custom mounts but maybe what you saw in this video will help you figure out your own way of solving that problem? I also have a video on a DIY mount for the front that may work idk?? For as great as some older boats may be there was little forethought in there designs for todays electronics.. The good thing is they can be purchased more reasonable in todays market as opposed to new but do all have there own challenges to overcome with outfitting them for today. That's the challenges I enjoy figuring out! Thanks for watching and commenting MrBdogg317!
