I had 3 plates on the bow, 1 center and 2 along the gunell and two onto bow.
I noticed the seats can be mounted in 3 different spots, so it looks like I could move 1-2" forward, this might help a tad.

BUCKEYE CRAPPIE, that Hdpe peice gave me a idea that could work. Using some scrap cardboard, I mocked up what you might describe as a bridge to mount the Millenium T bar plate. The biggest concern is using the Tm petal, but if it's tall enough your toes could slip under it for petal access!
Other things I will have to do is add a extendable mount for the Garmin screen and deciding how I'll mount the Panoptix transducer? Also I'm trying not to block the view from the helm. So there's a lot to consider.

That’s looks like a pretty good idea. You can get a machine shop to make you one out of aluminum. There are lots of extemdable mounts out there, you could probably get something that will mount to the area where the gimbal is mounted now. There are also lots of transducer pole mounts out there but looking at your Vexus you will probably have to drill. Cornfield Crappie makes a bridge mount but it’s not tall enough like your looking for.

Yeah, Im sure a local shop can fab a mount out of plate aluminum and crinkle coat it black to match. Im just thinking of mounting the Hummingbird where the Garmin is now, and getting a extendable mount for the Garmin/Panoptix so it would be easier to view when vertical jigging. As far as the Panoptix transducer, I'm kinda leaning toward the one that mounts to the Tm shaft and turns independently vs. taking up more deck area.

Good idea. Better than making more holes but then again customizing it is all the fun.

Looks like you’re a pretty good fabricator, at least with cardboard anyway! If you choose to go that route, I have some of that hdpe material I’d send you. If you’re interested hit me with a pm.Originally Posted by Tom 513
