I'm close to purchasing the 997 CI but questioning installation and where I put it on the 03 Cougar. Have decided that I will keep the Lowrance X15 in the dash because the 997 will not fit there very well. Options are on top of the dash (doesn't fit), on the side of the console with a ram side mount or on the right side of the console on the gunnel but that's not flat, or on the gunnel with the hand rail which gives me a little room and has a little flat surface. Question is , since I can not get underneath the gunnel will the ram mount hold with just the 3 or 4 screws ? Need help guys and gals - if you've done it - send pictures and thoughts. Thanks

I recently installed the 997 in dash in my Puma - should fit your Cougar ? Be sure to get the bezel trim from BBC

No, here is a link to a previous post of Sam's cougar. Also note that basschaser has a good post if you search for a ram mount example - both work. Scott
or Bobby in parts can explain the bezel/trim.

I didn't post mine up because it isn't what you are trying to do. I don't have a graph flush mounted at all and my ram mount and clam shell for the
wires are dead center of the place on the console where the graph is normally mounted.
I chose to ram mount with intentions of removing when I sold and it also allows me to position the graph to where my teammate can see it and know what we are doing. Also gives me the ability to remove it when it comes time to sell the boat. I do like the ram mount though. Judd Lasiter |
