Has anyone added a Garmin Echomap 70S to their 2012 240/242?

Yes I did. It was aluminum. I epoxied it together and decided that it wouldn't last. So I had it tacked together with an aluminum welder and powdercoated it. I made one without side braces and it had too much bounce in it, so I added braces and it worked perfectly.
