New fishfinder/GPS ?

[fishone]

I have been using a Garmin 198c for the last 10 years on my 1995 Grady white 22 seafarer. I'm going to upgrade and not sure what unit to get as of now although I do need to go with a bigger screen, not sure 7 or 9 inch? the problem I foresee is where do I mount this unit ? Id like to flush mount it on my dash but then I lose my locker/glove box. Any Ideas or pictures of modifications would be great thanks

I am in the same situation with a slightly older seafarer. Subscribing to this thread so I can check up on it. If I see a good idea on any other site, I will share it here.

I have the Garmin 7610vsx with chirp/side/down/radar. I love it. It is easy to use and networks with a ton of other units. I just picked up a clearance 8212 MFD that it will network with via 1 cable and share all data and operate separately if needed. I like the ability to customize your combos. With Smart Mode you can pick what information shows on which machine and what each control.

Where did you mount it? Can you post a picture ? thanks

I am in the process of putting in new electronics. Went with the Raymarine eS78 with WiFi quantum radar dome and chirp transducer. I replaced the stock acrylic door with a piece of black starboard and surface mounted the head unit.
