Just bought a Kong mount for my Helix 12. Will it support the weight? I also have a Dek Tek and am wondering which will provide the best support. Bow mounted Helix 12 currently on a D Ball.

Watched Carl Josumsen run with I think helix 12's on the bow of his boat. Were rock solid. I was very impressed watching.Quote:

Even when the side cosole mounted kong with a 10 finally cracked the console in heavy chop, the front has held strong. I have since fixed and properly redone the mount on the side console.
My brother has a 10 mounted on a mini kong it has been good to this point, but has not had it in real rough water just yet. He had to mount with wood screws because of no access under the mount location.
