What control and where on 209 Fisherman

[Msp381]

I picked up a 2015 Fisherman 209 and want to add a 9.9 Yamaha HT kicker. I have separate controls and not the tiller handle. Anyone have an idea where I should put the binnacle mounted and out of the way? Pic is the area open that seems to be best location but Yamaha 703 standard control is the question how it could get mounted.

Do you have room to change that single binnacle to a dual?

It’s a main is digital and kicker is mechanical and don’t know if it can be used for a dual combo that way.

I do but the main is digital and kicker is mechanical so I don’t believe Yamaha makes a dual that accommodates this.

Hmmm... I don't think they have such a thing, either.

Looks like there's enough room on the vertical surface. Is there enough room for full swing of the handle?

How about on the port or stbd side of the console?

Is there room on top of the console?

Interested thoughts.. not a bad idea putting it on top of center console.

Yeah, generally a kicker is not something you're going to need to have your hands on a lot when using it - so somewhat out of the way is probably fine.
