    Default Bow mount for graph


    I am up grading from a Helix 5 to a Helix 9, I have problems seeing the smaller screen. I will be mounting on the bow of a Grizzly 1648. The trolling motor pedal is mounted in center of deck but not recessed. I would like suggestions on how to mount. The Helix 5 was mounted on two 4" Ram extensions. I am not sure a Ram will hold the larger screen even after up grading to larger ball size.

    Have any of you made your own mounts? Can you post some pictures?

    Thanks

    I have a Helix 10 mounted with the D size Ram ball and medium length arm. It holds it just fine. It is not on front of boat but am getting same mount for front of boat so I can use built in transducer on my trolling motor.

    What size mounts do you have? I have two HDS 12 on a single "D", 2.25" custom mount that I made. each unit is on a "C" mount that is attached to the pole that has the "D" at its base, it's not ideal but it works. A 'D' size mount should be plenty for one 9' unit, IMO.

    On the bow I went with Balzout mount two Helix 12`s and it never moves, where my Ram 2 !/2 mount on the dash inconstantly moves with one 12 mounted to it in any rough water.

    Cornfield Crappie solved my mounting troubles. Solid as a rock.

    Millienium single rod holders have been used here lately to build a graph mount.
