Hi,

 

I'm going to be replacing my fish finder tonight.  Looking a the old one, the wires are routed behind the front control console.  I looked at it and it appears to have small pins sort of like the door panels in a car.  I see 4 in the middle of the console and then there is also one on the far end as it rounds the bow and comes to an end.  I took some vinyl pry tools and gave a little pressure on the corner ones(not in the pic) and they did not see to budge.  before I possibly go too far, I thought I would post here to see if I am doing this right.  Anyone have advice?  I think that's how the black frame console is held in place and then each individual switch plate screws into it.  I have a snapshot to show the 4 in the corners of the center of the console. 

 

 

 

Pull off the blank off plate and see what's behind it holding those 4 clips

Not sure if you're just trying to take the control panel with all the switches off or if you're trying to get that big plate off in the middle. If you're trying to get that plate off that is right in the middle, those little round black pieces in the corners are covering up screws. Pry the black pieces off and it should allow you to unscrew it and access everything behind it. This was how we got into the wiring in the bow of our stratos. Again, not sure if that's what you're looking to do.

 

 

Thank you.  I was going to remove the whole panel across the front of the boat so I could get to all the wiring to remove the old fish finder and install my newer one.
