where to put a lms332c

[GotOne]

I have a side console (Tourny pro 175) and want to buy a 332c. Trouble is I do all my trolling using the bow mount trolling mtr. I don't know if a Johnny Ray mount would be the way to go-if I could see it and I don't want to keep turning around to look at it. I'm currently running one of my depth finders to the bottom of the trolling mtr and have the other on the dash. Any suggestions? Do I have to buy 2 depth finders?

I have my LMS-332c in the back by my tiller for finding structure and following the contours of the Lakemaster/Lowrance MMC chip. I have it on a RAM mount so I can spin it to the front of the boat. I have my VEXILAR on the front of the boat for given me specific depth while casting in the front.

With THAT color screen, you can see the graph pretty darn good in the front!!

I agree with BRK. Put it on a RAM mount and you can spin it to see it from anywhere in the boat.

If you put it on a Ram and want to spin it so you can see it up front make sure you dont have a dark windshield. You wont be able to see the graph threw it if ya do. Taking the windshield off every time you go up front to troll is a pain. I would find a older x-97 or something and put it in front. If ya really need gps up front see if ya can find a lms332 or something like it.

I run my 332 up front and a 15 and 87 on the dash, that way I dont have to worry about twisting around all the time. Thats the easiest but not the cheapest way I know.

I do know some guys that just disconect the unit off the dash and then put it up front. Both on Ram mounts. Thats a big hassle to me though.

I have mine on the console and if I were going to do it over I would have it put up front. Great unit and I may add another on the front. If you can only have one my vote would be up front!!

If you didn't require gps up front, look into the X102c for the front and leave the 332c on the dash.

Thanks for the thoughts. I was thinking of the 102 in the front, however I want to add the lakemaster chip and troll from the front. Might just have to mount it on the front or buy 2. Have some Cabela's bucks begging to get spent.

If you buy another GPS unit up front you can save about $200 by getting it without the GPS Module. You can order another network conection from Lowrance and run two units off of one GPS module. They won't be able to share information back and forth to eachother but they will both be able to use the GPS module.

There ya have it, that is a heck of an idea! I sell the stuff and totally forgot about that option.

I have a Navigator 185 with with the 2 bubble windshields that are tinted and hard to see through. I have a 18c mounted with a RAM mount on the dash and a 332 with a Johnny Ray mount on the bow. Both have GPS. It's a few extra bucks, but I love it and wouldn't do it any other way. Just my $.02.
