Upgrading Marine Tech for Extreme Performance

At Black Label Marine Group, we’re all about pushing the limits of what’s possible on the water. Our latest project? A custom Garmin chartplotter installation on a build that might just be the pinnacle of our achievements: the Sea Fox 368 Extreme Edition—a serious upgrade for serious offshore fishing.

This isn’t just any electronics install. We’ve added a fully integrated, aft-facing display mounted directly in the T-top. It’s a clean, streamlined setup that lets anglers keep an eye on sonar, GPS, and fish-finder data without ever leaving their fishing position at the stern. Whether you’re trolling the open ocean or deep-dropping for that trophy catch, this tech keeps everything you need right in front of you.

A Closer Look: Garmin Power on the Sea Fox 368 Extreme Edition

This isn’t just another tech upgrade—it’s a custom solution designed for peak performance on one of the most exciting builds we’ve worked on: the Sea Fox 368 Extreme Edition.

One of the major upgrades? We replaced the existing GPSMAP 8610 XSV (10-inch display) with a GPSMAP 8616 XSV, bumping up the screen size to a massive 16 inches. This upgrade doesn’t just provide a larger display—it offers clearer visuals, faster processing, and a more immersive experience for monitoring sonar, radar, and GPS data. It’s a game-changer for both convenience and performance on the water.

The boat owner also wanted to boost their fishing experience with a dedicated aft-facing sonar display, so we made it happen. The result? A clean, functional installation that keeps the helm area uncluttered while offering top-tier functionality from anywhere on board.

Installation Highlights:

• Aft-Facing Garmin Display: Mounted in the T-top for clear, unobstructed viewing from the fishing deck.
• Upgraded GPSMAP 8616 XSV: A significant jump from the previous 10-inch model, offering a clearer, more detailed interface for tracking fish and navigating tricky waters.
• Fully Integrated Garmin Network: Seamlessly synced with the boat’s GPSMAP system, fish finder, and radar.
• Optimized Offshore Fishing: Real-time sonar feedback that helps you track fish, monitor depth changes, and locate underwater structures.
• Built to Last: Custom marine electronics mounting designed for durability and weather resistance—because saltwater doesn’t play nice. 💪💪💪

With these upgrades, the 368 Extreme Edition isn’t just about luxury and style—it’s now one of the most tech-forward fishing platforms out there.
