Thread: Humminbird 899 mounting questions

Get one of these. I have my 998 mounted on one. You can stand up on it. Mount it where you can put a backing plate under console. Locks down and won't move.

Not cheap but worth the money.

Not many reviews. RAM 111 worries me on strength and there composite is affordable, but aluminum is over $100. Saw some custom mounts I liked, but again over $100-200! Has anyone fabricated their own. Just spent $2500 on trolling motor and this unit. Need to be effective, but reasonable.

I will try and get some photos of the new mount I have my 899 on. Give me a few days.
