Here are the measurements: 6 3/4" wide by 5 1/4" tall. This is the max size. I would be rubbing the top and bottom at these measurements!

    I think your stuck getting another LMS 160 Chris.
    All the new stuff from Lowrance that I am finding is to big.
    Have you thought about using another brand? Looks like some of the Garmins might work for ya.

    Yea, I think I will have to switch. Was trying to get by without changing out my antenna and transducer as well, but I guess it won't work. Thanks for the help and insight!

    I got a Garmin GPS in my truck and love it. Don't know about humminbirds anymore. Been awhile since I had one.
    How much you want to spend?

    Not much to spend. I have a lot of projects this winter and money is tight. Trying to find a rebuilt or good used one. Maybe $300-$400. My boat was equipped with a faria depth gauge and a Lowrance 160. (Mapping and depth sounder). So I can either go with a combo mapping and depth unit or send my depth gauge to Faria and have them fix it and get a mapping unit only for the Lowrance replacement. I really don't need one for my truck. I use my iPhone for GPS in the truck if needed.

    The Garmin 421S is in that range. Here are details:

    That looks like it might work! I also like that I can add a transducer to it later on if I feel like it. And it has an SD slot for 3d expansion is nice!
