Title: Finished up the front end
Post by: Jig Man on August 01, 2016, 09:25:43 PM: I had a Lowrance Gen 2 touch 9 left over after my boat swap so I decided to use it on the Nitro. Also the foot pedal was too deep for my liking so I raised it.

This is how it came from the factory.

I took the tool holder and cup holder out and put in the bridge that I had Poly Fab make me.

I then attached the hds 9 gimble bracket.

I put in the foot pedal lift and mounted the hds 9. Now it will be used for chart and I can split the 12 with 2d and down scan.

Post by: Jig Man on August 02, 2016, 09:18:53 AM: It has 2 other tool holders and 4 other cup holders so I think I'm good. Besides things blew out of that front one if they weren't strapped in.

I would say that two other tool holders and 4 other cup holders would be sufficient (giggle)

And I was wondering how secure stuff would be up there if the water was rough. All I could picture was a pair of needle nose pliers flying at you at 60 MPH :surprised: (fp)

Post by: Jig Man on August 03, 2016, 06:16:02 AM: It had a bungie to hold stuff in place. Things blew out on the way to the lake and were scattered around the deck when I didn't bungie them in. I won't miss it. My wife and I are going to run down to Table Rock this morning to see if I have everything adjusted to suit me.
