    Gimbal Rosettes?

    Anyone know where I can purchase the plastic rosettes (I think that is the correct term) that come on the gimbal mounts of Lowrance or Humminbird graphs? These are the plastic spacers/washers that allow the graph to pivot in the gimbal but lock in place when you screw the knobs in.

    I’m pretty sure Precision Sonar sells those discs. Won’t hurt to call and ask. (270) 703-6133

    Thanks. I see them on their site. They are quite expensive. Do you know if they manufacture those or are they reselling them?

    If you know someone with a 3D printer, I believe there is a file for them on thingaverse, at least there was a couple years ago.

    They are not available thru Lowrance as there is no part# I have produced them and if you want you can give me a call. I currently do not have them on the website but have some here. CND'd out of Delrin. 3D printed ones will not hold up unfortunately. Just finishing off molds for Lowrance, Garmin and HB plus ones for all the live sonar ones. Injection molded out of ABS is the only way to make them durable plus cost effective.

    I've sourced some since my original post. But good to know
