I just purchased a Garmin echomap 64cv, comes with a "U" base (no telescopic),. Going on a 2013 sx 210, does anyone know a good mounting location? Pictures would be ideal ! Thanks in advance

What kind of boat are you installing yours on I installed my Garmin on my AR 190 on the right side of the steering wheel on the dash

Yeah it can be tough to find the right place to install sometimes. I chose the area I wanted to mount my GPS first and then I found a model with a mount that would fit that. I forget the model but I got the smaller Garman GPS depth fishfinder with the Mount being about 3 inches maybe the size of a suction cup

I mounted mine onto the jet plate it’s self and ran the wire up through the self draining outlet, and put a T in that drain pipe in The swim deck access compartment to run the wire out And up to the dash.

I would wait until my warranty was up before drilling a hole in the ride plate.I don’t think that this has a negative affects to the cooling properties Of the jet plate,But I have done it like this for two years and several other people that have done the same thing for 3+ years.I just couldn’t bring myself to drilling a hole in the transom fiberglass.
