    Pontoon Helix Mounts

    I have a Bentley 24’ pontoon. The dash isn’t made where you can mount a graph in it. I’m going to install a Helix 10 at the console. Anybody with pontoons have a similar setup having to mount their unit? What type mount did you find that works? Thanks...

    I have a Playcraft and due to lack of dash area I had to use a cupholder (reinforced) but I only have a 5in display on a ball mount.

    This is what I did if you can see it. Is a RAM mount on the side with a 1 x 6 pc of wood behind plastic.

    What’s wrong with your mock up? Looks like it is in a clean spot. If you can support it from the under side that should be a solid mount.

    side note, nice job having a bigger graph on your pontoon then I do on my bass boat

    Thanks for the thread. Just sold my AlumiCraft and the guy wanted both the 12 in sonar on the dash and the 9 inch on the bow. Bought a 20' Bentley and going to try to mount a 9" Lowrance carbon on it. I had a Balzout on my prior boat for the 12", but not sure I need to spend $180 on a mount. The 9" I had was mounted to an old Johnny Walker swivel mount which I liked.
    Anyone have any experience with the large ball RAM mounts ? Also want to be able to move the new Carbon to a small aluminum rowboat in the fall and spring for river fishing.
