Mounting a GPS unit
Does anybody have any pics of intresting ways to mount a GPS unit on the drivers side dash of a early v20 like a 1976? Not much room there I'm thinking I will have to build some sort of bracket.

Re: Mounting a GPS unit
Man, this one is right up my alley. *You need two 30* bow rail fittings and a short section of stainless tube (bowrail). *I assembled mine with a little 5200 just for good luck, along with the set screws. *Here is a pic:

I took a piece of lexan and used a heat gun to warm it up and bent it 90 degrees. I added a power outlet and screwed it to the left side of the dash area.

Re: Mounting a GPS unit
Bobby, your '76 dash will probably look like my '74 did when I got it...I took all stock Wellcraft dash components gauges and everything out and redid it w/ Starboard...at the time, I couldn't locate any 1/4" , so used 1/2'' seen here...pictured here is sonar/gps combo ... hope this gives ya some ideas ;) ...
 and my antenna went FLAT on the bow-deck...reads all the sats and outta the way ;) ...

Re: Mounting a GPS unit
No Franco, mine is the Tracker 5500 ? Chartplotter w/ the fuel flow sensor. I absolutely love it. I see this year that in the USA all the Navman stuff is branded Northstar. I was thinking about seeing if they would upgrade my software to run the latest chips, but haven't gotten that far yet.
