Simrad Go12 in a 210 FSH

[Skroggy66]

Purchased a 2019 210 FSH and wanting to put a 12" in the console, any one done this? Looks like it will fit.

I have heard a 9” screen is the biggest you can flush mount, but don’t have my boat yet.

The demo boat I rode in had a 10" Garmin. I was hoping to fit a 12"

I suppose some careful measuring is in order, I have never seen a 12” MFD flush mounted in a 210 FSH console.

I installed my Simrad Go9 and it included the template for the 12inch. I mocked it up and it would be a very tight fit, but can be done very carefully.

That is what I wanted to hear... I will order that bad boy now so I have it when my boat comes in..

You can download the template online and check before purchase if needed.

I ordered the Simrad GO12 XSE I guess if it doesn't fit I will surface mount it to the top of the console. My eyes are not getting any better.

I have the go9 flush mounted and wish it were bigger and surface mounted. Would be less glare, closer to eye level, therefore easier to see. Would also be nice to flip and see from the bow. Truth be told, I want both and plan to add go12.

 

[Skroggy66]

My only fear of the top of the console is I am short and don't want to have any obstructions. I will certainly consider it before I cut the console. And I agree it would be nicer to swivel it. I will take pictures with what I come up with.

I had a Garmin 1042xsv installed. It’s slightly wider than the Simrad GO12 XSE due to the button controls, but the Garmin is over an inch shorter. As you can see, there is a little space left underneath mine (you can’t go any higher up on the console since there is a lip at the top), but I’m not sure it’s enough space for the Simrad. If it is, it’ll be very close.

This is what I did. Works great. And I can tilt it down, so if I am fishing off the back or just lounging around anywhere on the boat, I can see the screen. I have a 12inch Solix. I have never had it get in my way of seeing the water. With the right surface mount, you can bring it down and towards you to even lower it more. The ability to point the screen right at your face, makes up for the extra clutter look with it being surface mounted. From a function standpoint, it works very well. Especially of you use it while moving around in the boat. I have a bow mount unit also, buy rarely use it.

Do you have pictures? I am just worried that it will obstruct my view.

Old picture from install. This is pretty much at full height. Can drop it down so the lower edge of the screen is below the top edge of the console.

G012 installed, was a tight fit.

 

[Dixie Highway]

Love it, tight fit would be an understatement.

 

[Liveto99]

So cool I love it! Wish I had it! So jealous.

Looks like it fits perfect! Looks great. Any issues? Im planning on getting one. Do you have more pictures? Thanks
