    Mount for bow

    What are people’s favorite mounts for their bow mounted electronics? I do have experience with the ram mounts but thought about trying a bracket.

    The over the pedal mounts are probably the most popular. That's what I have, and I've never seen anything I liked better.

    Depends on what you like but I would discourage ram mounts - even the biggest can't be locked down hard enough. Brackets are great and come in all flavors. Lots of companies out there - I've had nothing but awesome experiences from Bass Boat Technologies - have installed them on multiple boats and always rock solid. Just getting ready to install a new triple stack mount on my bow.

    I have this at the side of the console and on the bow to the right of the TM tray. Very stable and I didn't want it real high off the deck. Easy to remove Graphs, just unhook the cables, move the release bar and lift. No messing around with the knobs and no need for the locks !!

    I have the Str8up dual mount. I've been really happy with it.

    These can reduce the number of holes in your boat if you keep it for a long time and keep updating your units. They are very durable, inexpensive, and my next purchase when I replace my current units on my boat.
