Where do you mount your fishfinder? Where can you put it that is reachable but out of the way of the bait tank lid? My first attempt was humbling to say the least(watertight box that wasnt watertight + esco shore break =

)
Thanks for any input

mine is mounted in the center about 6" up from the cup holder. I use a ram mount and can swivle it out of the way of the lid. or just rest the lid on the FF, I found that i usally dont open the tank lid all that much, If i do its uaslly not open all the way or for very long.

I mounted mine about 6 inch above the cup holder with the ram mount and the bait tank still bangs on it other than that its a good spot.

thanks guys yeah that seems to be the only spot guess i just got to get more comfortable with the old shimmy up front to hook it up i guess its worth it to have your bait right at hand and yeah i rarely open mine either I usually just use the little twist window which is an awesome feature see yeah otw

I noticed that you have this 597 in a zip lock bag. I also have one too but I don't use a bag, wondering why? This unit is waterproof??

I was more focused on the coors light rather than the fishfinder but I guess that shows where my priorities are.
