Graph Installation

[Grant2]

Will the new Garmin Echomap UHD 93SV graph flush mount on a 2005 P4? It also has the new pop in mount that needs to be on the back of the console.

No one know? Bass cat doesn’t know I guess so we will see.

Nope won’t fit.

Nope, it will not fit.  The 93 sv has a composite mount that the graph needs to snap into.  It is not like the 10″ Ultra where that part for the other side of the plugs you can snap on the back of the graph and then flush mount the unit into any boat.  I put 2 93 sv on the front of my Cougar and then eventually went with a bass boat technology mount for the 10″ that I installed on the console.  Do yourself a favor, explore the different mounts prior to cutting a hole to fit any unit in the dash.  Attached are a couple of photos.

How do you like your Garmin?

Comparing Garmins to 3rd gen Lowrance HDS9 and Hummingbird gen 2 helix 9s, they are ok.  I like the trail features on the Lowrance better,  I like the side scanning on the birds better.  The 2d sonar on the Garmin and Lowrance are about a dead heat.  However, live scope on the Garmin is the real deal.  If you can afford 10″ units buy them, I put 2 9″ units on the front and a 10″ on the console.  The 10″ Garmin is very clear.  I linked all of mine together with the box that Garmin has out due to the 9″ units only having one jack per unit.  So I like that linking ability better on the Garmin, as well as the ability to put the live scope on any screen in the boat.  The Lowrance you can update it via the internet, my gen 3s I did through the units, the Garmin you have to go through the active captain app.  I have also linked every Garmin item in my boat together, panoptics, trolling motor, and all graphs so that is a good deal as well.  Also as I stated the mount on the 9″ units are different than the 10″ Ultra.  That being said, Garmin 93SV units (this years models) can be had for around $500 each now, there are places that have them on sale.  That is versus the almost $2,000 per 10″ unit.  New HDS lowrance units are not cheap either, 9″ ones are about the same cost as the 10″ Garmin.  Overall so far I do like the Garmin units but I am really impressed with the trolling motor and the live scope.  Now I just have to spend more time with this stuff and get it down.

I just replied to your post on BBC.  I don’t think it will fit but I am having a mount made for my 05 Puma (same console) to mount 2 93s.

 Here is the single that he makes for utilizing the hole where the flasher was.

Let me know if this is something you’d like.  I can be reached at 9034401514

Did not know they made a mount where the flasher went pretty good idea.

[Dman32]

A guy on Facebook owners page made one for his boat and he’s making one for mine. He will have it powdered coated and all.  Exactly what I am looking for.

[Grant2]

Dman32 can you send pictures when you get it?

[Dman32]

Can you send me a text and I can get some over to you when i get it.  It was in powder coat yesterday.

Mine are not UHD, but back in March I put dual mount Garmin 93sv on an 05 P4.

[Grant2]
