It's connected to a Garmin Drivesmart65. My tow rig has Navigation, but this gives me backup should the need arise.
Here you go. Stuff works anywhere, on anything.
Shoutout to @HangOutdoors for the chartplotter set up idea, I used your cupholder delete and love the location. I find I never really look at the rpm gauges and I can tell by listening if they are out of sync. Used the chartplotter this weekend for a longer trip and I love that I can see this in direct sunlight and the Garmin 94 is big enough to see all the detail.
Drilled a drain hole in the box to let water out & also drilled mounting holes in the back of the box. Then removed the old lights and getting rid of the snap-loc wiring connectors and used heat shrink butt connectors. Tapped the frame for a good ground on each side and got to installing. Connected all of the wires, tested to make sure all was functioning properly and then put grommets & lights in the boxes. Overall an easy 45 minute project after the undercoating had dried & cured.
No issues with it that strong, the gel coat is back to nice & smooth. Trailer is painted so it doesn’t affect it. Been using this for years on this boat & a pontoon with no issues. The pontoon was wet slipped and had THICK limescale that took a few applications but always got it cleaned up.1/3 muriatic acid seems kinda strong. No problems with the Gelcoat? I assume you SHOULD NOT get that on the trailer
I use Hasa Liquid Muriatic Hydrochloric Acid is a 31.45% Hydrochloric Acid for the Swimming Pool and that stuff will eat through concrete.
Looks awesome! Did you have to take the Captain's Chairs off to install?Installed my seadek from the group buy. Pleased with how it turned out

Thanks! Not the captains chair; it's split into 2 pieces around the post. But the passenger chair is one piece with a hole. I searched the thread on here how to remove. It was tight; probably never removed. But basically turned it 45 degrees port side to wall, then two of us pulled/ wiggled it off.
Just saw this, for some reason this thread wasn't showing up in my notifications. Did you print that plate out? I'm looking at swapping out the OEM head unit, and Yamaha made the decision to do a shelf and have the head unit inset, so I'm almost forced to replace it with another OEM unit, since it seems the size constraints won't allow me to swap in either of the other 2 head units I'm considering (seems to measure a bit too tall). A plate like that, set on an angle, would give me plenty of space. The shelf is worthless for holding a phone, so losing that, but gaining the ability to swap in whatever I want for a head unit, would be priceless
