I just get a terrible itch and reaction when something blocks my view out the front window so here is what I bought and where I put it to avoid any blockage of the view forward.
Going clockwise, here is my Raymarine C70 (easy to see depth,chart, radar, etc), Yammie Command Link gauges, joy stick search/flood light control (easy use with right hand at night), lighted trim gauges (see red lights both sides of steering wheel) , 12 V cigarette lighter outlet, toggle switch for trim tabs & Raymarine DSM 300 digital depth unit (automatically raises trim tabs when shut off), am/fm cd player, and up on the top (to the right of the compass) in the right corner out of my sight line is my waterproof ICOM VHF radio & mike (above the radio) so no hanging wires and clear front window. All works great for day and night running.
Wish the Yammie gauges were a bit clearer in bright sunlight and that the factory switches had back lighting under the labels for night running. Minor issues. Overall I am very satisfied.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Pete
