Not really.

It's better to have the radios and other electronic instrumentation in
easy view. On both Contenders, I had an electronics rack attached to
the T-top so that all the instrumentation (except engine) was located
just slightly above eye level - I find that more comfortable.

Most dash mount their electronics and on the Ranger, that's how I have
my GPS/Finder and radio mounted - right in plain sight and easy to get
to and adjust if necessary. You can mount it such that the cables
will be clean and neat and not obvious looking.

On that set up, I'd leave it as it is. The new radio will be much
smaller than the current model and take up less space so that it won't
look awkward.


Could be, Tom, I was thinkingof oving the depthfinder over more to the
right, in place of the radio, to un restrict the frontal view, though.
and possible ounting the radio, on the right side low, down below the
throttle, facing up. theres generous room there.
