Here is a shot of the helm of a 2012 2575 RCW LTD with the Garmin 431s. Sorry, but the cover was on the Garmin at the time.

The leftover 2011 RLi I bought already has the Echo100 on it. I had the Garmin 300 that I bought and mounted on my old boat. I would think that it wouldn't be too hard to replace the Echo with the 300

Eric, due to my old eyes I am considering the 531s with it's 5" screen. Looking at your picture gives me concern about the larger size. The 531s is 5.9" x 6.4" x 2.9" while the 431s is 5.7" x 5.0" x 2.7". Your boat is probably covered for the winter but do you think the 531 will fit. I can run to the dealer but he is 40 minutes away.

Not sure if it would fit. My boat is put away for the winter but it is also 1 1/2 hours away at the lake. Sorry I couldn't give you more info.

No problem, thanks for your replies.
TB can you help? Will the Garmin 531s fit where the echo100 is on my 2011 Rli?

i have a 2010 2250 GCW and my helm console looks pretty much the same. I have the flat spot on the right open to install a Humminbird 788 CI HD DI . I am however opting to install it to the left of the helm, on that helm ridge midway up the dash. The humminbird has an awesome 3d down imaging capability so I plan to swivel the sonar screen toward the seating area at times to show guests the 3d sonar images of submerged structures like bridges and old house foundations. On board entertainment 
That install area would be just above where that depth echo device is pictured. The base of the sonar does not need much area to install when your using the unit on a stand vs flush/flat mounting it.
