Rhodan Dealer. Cost Of Install

Seriously thinking about doing a rhodan gps/trolling motor install. Weighing my options and trying to decide if I want to tackle it myself. Has anyone received a dealer quote for install or had one installed in the central Florida area? Just curious what the install cost would be. I looked up the local rhodan dealers on their website but figured I would ask around first before I just start calling asking for quotes.

 

Mounting I’m not really worried about. Your right I really just dont feel like crawling around and chasing wires. I also have a bow rail that I’m unsure what to do with. I can not really eliminate it I thought about cutting it and capping it where the motor would be. I worry this would Look goofy though. I have a wellcraft 230 fisherman. I should have room on the bow. The main thing I’m not sure of is having room under the center console for 3 more batteries. I already have the verado power steering and two batteries under there with a battery charger. I’m not sure where else I could stick them. I have a front livewell immediately in front of the center console that I never use. It’s low, in the floor, and in the center of the boat it may be my best option. It generally gets used as a trash can when I’m out with the family honestly since all I have to do is empty it and hose it out when I’m done.

 

Here is a picture where u can see the bow. I can take a better one next time I’m in the boat I don’t keep it at the house.

 

The hinge picture is exactly what I envisioned. I guess someone has done it already. I know they make Bimini hardware that would fit over that I could use.
