Fish Finder / GPS combo on 2019 Tracker 18" Bass Buggy DLX

[RBKowalski]

Will pick up my new Bass Buggy around the middle of May. Right now I'm in Florida and my Pontoon is in Up State NY.
so I have no idea of the console layout. . I'm Interested in a new Garmin Echo Map 73CV Dimensions: 9.8″ x 5.5″ 2.0″ will this size fit the Bass Buggy console, without looking cramped.
Thanks
Rick

Welcome aboard.

Cut a piece of paper 10X 5.5" and visit a Bass Pro Shops, Cabela's or any dealer selling SunTrackers. It doesn't look promising for an in-dash mount. Might have to mount on top of the console.

Thanks for the reply !!
I plan on mounting it with the supplied quick release mount. If that is a picture of a Tracker Console looks like I should have plenty of room.

Why would the photo be anything but?

Have you seen the boat you bought?

I am wondering this myself? I guess he is a snow bird, not sure why anyone from florida would buy a Bass Buggy from NY? There must be half a dozen bass pro shops between him and NY at least?

Still the not seeing it but bought it has me head scratching

Only saw a picture at the dealers but, where I have my Cabin in NY. Were I'll spend May thru Oct the owner of the camp grounds has a few older Bass Tracker Pontoons. I didn't know if they changed the layout or console sizes from year to year.
and I never really paid any attention .I just moved to Florida this past Oct. I previously lived in PA.. Got tired of the snow and cold so that's how I ended up in Fl. Last Oct.before leaving our cabin in Black Lake and driving down to Florida. the wife and I decided to trade in our 2016 175 Pro Guide Deep Vee on a new Pontoon.Had to order it and it was just delivered in April to the dealers. Since I fresh water fish mainly in New York and the Dealer were I bought my first tracker and now the pontoon is only 10 miles from my Cabin it was a no brainer to buy it there. Especially since I have it winterized and stored plus maintenance checks.Maybe it dosen't sound soooo strange now. I also received a $400.00 gift card from Tracker and plan on adding a few more hundred and get a decent fishfinder/ gps.Only problem is that there are no Bass Pro shops in the area I will be staying at in NY. so I figured I would buy it here in Fl were the Bass Pro shop is only 10 miles away.The Bass Pro shops here do not have boats on display Here in Stuart Fl. there are boat dealers every where and they sell mainly Bay and Off shore fiberglass Boats.

Thanks

I have a 7" wide lowrance unit mounted on my console with a ram mount so it is removable at the end of the day. Plus run the wires up thru the cup holder so can leave wires tucked in the cup holder when not connected.
My is a 20' suntracker toon 2019 plus also with the ram mount you can adjust to any position you need it.

Thanks for the reply....were did you hook up the power? Is there a terminal block under the console or did you run a wire back to the battery
Thanks

You should have a battery tray under the console. It is to hook up a trolling motor option on the pontoons I just put a battery there just for the fish finder hookup. You can run the the power cable to the main battery but I like having a extra battery. I can fish two days probably more on the battery before charging it.
I am going to put a on board charger on it next so when I get home just plug in and charge both batteries up for next trip.
