Anyone using a 9 inch display on a 240?

west marine has the garmin eco map 94sv on sale and I'm thinking about picking one up but not sure if there is anywhere to put it on our boats any ideas?

I installed an 8" Lowrance HDS 8 Gen 2 with structure scan on our AR230. I had a detailed post on the other site, just haven't had time to repost here.

Basically, I removed the dash insert, made a template, and rearranged the gauges. I really really really wanted the screen dead center in front of me. Then I wrapped it with some adhesive vinyl stuff. While in the process I rearranged some other parts of my dash since I wanted the stereo higher.

I've thought about the 240 series, and might be possible, but it is more complicated with the way the top overhangs, the touchscreen, and really no place to move those gauges. On a 240 I would probably end up having to custom make a new dash top also.

@greg what type of mount are you using over on it and the location of the mount?

Ram mount Suction cup on side window. Never had a issue with it fallen down ,even in rough seas.

7" is the largest that will fit in the dash itself.
