track-mounted gps/sonar

i’m going to be adding a 3rd Humminbird display this spring and want to put it on the Traxtech tracks towards the back of the cockpit in my WX1910…

does anyone have any pics of this kind of electronics mounting?
and tips about wiring in such a way that there’s a bit of flexibility/range to slide the display?

thanks!

I’ll be doing the same with my boat. I had SBC rig a power and ethernet cable just in front of the jump seat. I don’t have the mounts for it yet, but I’ve seen multiple ways of doing it. Traxstech has an accessory base you can mount a Ram ball mount on, this is what I’ll be going with as I can just move my bow unit back there.

With all the Garmin units James had on his boat last year I’m guessing he had the set-up you’re looking for. I know SBC sold his boat but maybe somebody has some photos that will help.

I have attached a couple pictures of a boat that is going out shortly. We cut the rails and capped them and added a piece of track just for a graph in the back of the boat. This is on the port side of the boat and we have approx. 2′ of cable to move the graph w/o stretching the cables.
Just need to add power and a network cable back to the dash so that it can share waypoints/chip data. This allows the bow graph which is also on a ram to be moved from front to back very easily. We have also done this process with Cisco mounts as well.

Cal, that looks like exactly what I want! Can you do that to my boat too?

Ha ha. Don’t need to. That’s my boat.

Be sure to look into the variety of new Electronics mounts that Traxstech now offer. SBC did mine last year.

John…how tall is the mount in that picture?

Mike, after seeing you on Saturday I checked and they do have all the different mounts up on the website. Here is the link.
