lowrance hds 5 in dash mounting

I did it on my 03 cougar was nothing to it. hardest part running the transducer wire to the console from the rear

Did it on my 05, and the transducer was tedious. A fish tape, available at any of the box stores, made it a snap. Happy with it, but opening up the dash for the increased size was the only thing that was really a pain.

How did you cut the gelcoat there and did you need an external antenna???

I used a resip saw with a fine tooth metal blade. That was not the best option. If I had it to do over, or had more use for it, Id get and use something like the Fein Multimaster.I did not install an external antenna, and have not lost a signal yet. It shoots fine through the dash and windshield.I share the GPS with my Lowrance lcX-28C, and it works well also.
