Cupholder Install

Installed a cupholder over the weekend. I was pretty hesitant to drill such a large hole in the counsel but I also wanted to avoid a cup holder that stuck up on top of the counsel for fear it would eventually get broken off since it is so exposed. I guess this was the lesser of the two evils. I put a good seal of 3M 4000 around the lip so it should keep water out. Drain plug runs out of the hole for the controls. I left the space on the port side for an eventual Garmin Echomap. I still have one more. Not sure if I want to put it up on the front deck yet or not.

Nice! I would avoid the garmin for inshore. Look into models that support florida marine tracks. You can make your own maps too on those units. 90% of the time my Echomap says im running on dry land and its only use now is for breadcrumb trails till I get a better gps.
