Hello again nyc511, I didn't see in your post if you are doing the install or contracting?

I read you will be removing the compass for a GPS, yes? If you do not have ample space on or around your console to flush mount the radio then your options are limited to surface mount with an enclosure as you have priced at W/M. Depending on the output power/wattage of the radio you may be able to select smaller sized speakers (that can handle the wattage without sound distortion) to avoid using up more space than necessary for the install.

Does your boat have a "T-Top"? If so, you can mount your electronics in an overhead dry-compartment. Regarding a GPS, you will need to decide what features are really important to you and what size-package will it come in. The same senerio with the music radio, features you desire, modularity (flush or top mounted capabilities), power amplified or not, and marine exposure resistance/protection.

If cutting the console for anyone device make certain that it is a worth while investment (brand name, quality marine product, etc. etc.).

Best,
Angel M.
