Garmin GPSMAP 1042xsv in our 210 FSH

[Maillis]

Just had this installed. Anyone else using this unit?

I have no experience with that unit but have to say, that looks great, fills the space perfectly!

Looks great. I'm using a Simrad on my 190.
Do you happen to have any pics of how you mounted your transducer?

 

[Foobar]

Very nice.

Transducer is mounted to the inside end of the port ride plate. Haven’t had a chance to water test it yet, but I am concerned that the keel is going to block part of the sidescan sonar. Paid the dealer to install it and they picked the spot. If it doesn’t work there I may be making a return trip to have it remounted.

It will (block the sidescan). I have the 3D structure scan not mounted anywhere near the keel and there is still interference.

Its absurd but the only way to get clear sidescan (Simrad & Lowrance units) is to have 2 seperate thru hull transducers for each side port & starboard. And to add to it, the technology isn't that great in real life application. Looks amazing in demo mode in the store...other than that, junk in my opinion.

I went with a GO9 on my 210 but wow that looks good. Waiting on dealer now to install accessories and i'm still deciding where to mount transducer. Hope to have boat by friday.

Yeah I’m pretty sure I’m going to have some signal blocked with the location they chose... next step would be moving it a little more off center and adding a spacer to drop it down about an inch. If all else fails I can have another transducer added to the other side but would rather not.

I considered the GO9 but I got a great deal on this 10” Garmin unit and it’s about as large as you can go in the space available.

Another option is to go with the AirMar P19 and mount it on the other side of the keel from the speedo. You would lose the pretty downscan though. Mine is there and it works great at any speed.

 

[Liveto99]

The speedo is on my port side I was worried about bubbles I was going to mount it in the same spot on the starboard please let me know how it works there. Looks great in the helm station!

 

[Foobar]

Unless you have a different 210 FSH Sport than I do, the speedo is starboard. It works very well on the opposite side from the speedo.

 

[Liveto99]

I stand corrected. Do you have nuts inside on the bolts holding the hull plate on?

 

[Foobar]

On that plane opposite of the speedo. I have an in hull transducer like this.

 

[Scott Newby]

Yes sir, that's the exact same unit I have on mine, only I mounted it on the bow on a RAM mount, with the transducer and Panoptix on the trolling motor.

 

[subysti]

I have 2 transom mounted transducers for my sidescan.

Would a 12 inch touch fit? Without the buttons is the 12 touch the same mounting size?

 

[Maillis]

The 1042xsv (non-touch) is 12.5” x 7.3” and the 1242 touch is 13” x 8.9” - it may fit but you’ll need to measure and cut carefully because you won’t have much wiggle room. I think the height will be the bigger problem - width should be ok.

 

[Ray keown]

Thanks .It looks like it will fit, but yeah its gonna be close. The 7612 is the same size i believe .and you can replace your engine gauges with it
