Fish finder mount on a Princecraft side console.

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Fish finder mount on a Princecraft side console.

Post by Wallyboss »

I am changing my fish finder this year, I am looking for example of where people have mounted them on a Princecraft SC pro165.

This is my Princecraft 165SC Pro, swivel mount, can view the screen from front or back.
Seems to work OK. I attached the base via screws through holes in the console, threaded into a plate of UHMW underneath to distribute the load without cracking the console when skipping over boat wakes etc.

Mine is an older one. And that part of the console doesn't look that big.

Thanks for the picture.

My finder in the pic is a 5" screen, if that helps at all.
RAM mount would be great if you have the budget for it.
