I recently aquired a new boat and I am going to put two Lowrance x20's on it. (bow/ drivers console). I am wondering what are the pros and cons of having them rigged permanently (cut in dash/bow panel) vs. on ram mounts.

Any experiences/ thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks, Mike

Four negatives come to mind:

1- you won't be able to swivle them around to see them as you move around in the boat.

2- you won't be able to remove them when you are parked at some cheap motel overnight on the way to some canadian lake (could get stolen)

3- if you decide to upgrade them you will have a tough time matching the hole sizes

4- you cut holes in your boat

My reason for not putting them in the dash is if you do have a problem with your console unit you could easily switch units and have a flasher for moving about the lake, especially if on an unfamiliar lake or Canada.

Good luck, Murph
