Dash mounted GPS in 'Big Al's' center console

So I removed the 2-din Kenwood Excelon deck (with Garmin GP) but updating that GPS proved difficult.
I live 6 months/year in Fl so I'm always in need of a good updatable GPS. I installed a 7" Garmin 76.
It allows for front and rear wireless cameras.
These pics rep iteration #1 of this mod.
Iteration #2 will use the exact outline for the 'cover' which I have yet to cut (see pic)
Iteration #3 will be a welded metal box to replace the wooden one currently in use
A 4-ch marine radio (small) with remote controls is mounted below the GPS. The radio is easily accessed by just lifting out the GPS. A portable SiriusXM radio (with remote) is installed in the Aux and sits on the passenger shelf with velcro (I listen to this >90% of the time)
