    Default Creative ideas for dual depth finders


    I just recently upgraded my depth finders and have an extra Echomap 93SV. My question is, I want to install it, along with my Echomap Plus 93SV with Livescope up front and looking ideas. I have seen some premade mounts, but 250-280 for the mount seems a bit excessive for me. Looking for a solution that someone on here has thought of. Thought is to have the Livescope unit higher and the other 93SV lower to display side/down scan. I have a Lowe Roughneck 2070 and have some room up front to be bit flexible in how I install them. Thoughts or pictures from your solutions? Thanks in advance

    93+ for LS on top----- 93 chirp with GT52 bottom

    Built this for the boat and to transfer to other boats.

    $30 in aluminum plate and $35 for the welder to weld a box.


    A couple of hrs of time to shape it.

    May not be what you are looking for but might help with ideas.

    Good Luck with the project

    That is exactly what I am looking to do. Have them stacked but be able to see both as needed. How do you attach and remove from the boat? Mine would be installed onto the floor, so I would probably need to work on some type of way to quickly remove to store the units. Thanks for sharing. Any interest in having another built? That would be my exact same setup that you have shown here.

    Sorry the pic is sideways.

    This is the graph mount in the other boat.

    Both boats have a 2" ram ball mounted to the boat and I just move the graphs with the ram arm.

    The arm is the 2" long model.

    The ball is mounted to the floor in the first pic and the ball in the second pic is mounted on an angle to a 1/4" alum. plate I had bent to match the floor/bow panel angle because the arm was to short to reach the floor.

    The pic is a little busy as I am in the middle of a rewire project.

    As far as building another one, you are on your own.LOL
