12 inch Graph on 2000 203?

[dean c]

Any of y'all mounted a 12 inch on a 203 console? Any pics or recommendations on how/where Does anyone make mounting plates or brackets? Thanks

Hi Dean,
I have a 2000 203 and I mounted my helix 12 on my console by mounting a SS plate over where my flasher was and mounting a balzout mount to the plate.
I don't have any good pics of it , this is the best I have.

paul, can you easily see over that? im 5'10", and also looking at the same style and location for a helix 10, but concerned I wont be able to get the graph low enough to still safely see over it LOL

Hi Dean
I am 6' tall and with the smallest balzout mount ( I think 4") after the boat gets on plane seeing over the 12" graph is no problem.
I have mine mounted centered where the flasher was, but you could move it down a bit to sit it lower.
Also the ss plate was only 1/8 in thick.
I could get better pics of it this weekend if you want?

Thanks guys..The boat is my tourney partner's. He is deciding which way to go...new boat or upgrade a few things. I knew the Champ crowd here would have an answer. I've given him the info and now its up to him on which way to go..thanks!

Dean, if he buys a new rig, what is he leaning towards?

[dean c]

Says he likes the ZX Skeeter.

He’s down at Choke Canyon wasting his time this weekend , but it’s the “Beach Customs” that I was referring too earlier. Carlton Beach must be busy since he hasn’t responded.

I got a PM from him...he’s on it if Jimmy decides he wants to go that route.

Ha! I wouldn't go that far. My club had a 2-day tournament down there and we had a good time, regardless. First time on that lake and manage a few keepers. The reports were right though, fishing was tough. My partner and I did manage to squeak 3rd place with 4 fish over 2 days for a whopping 10lbs.

To the OP, sorry I missed your msg. I didn't pick up my phone all weekend and it was wonderful.

I have a 12" HDS on my 2000 202. Mounted it on the large ram mount just to the right of the console.
