I mounted my point 1 directly beside my Ultrex on the front deck at the edge of the rubber pad up front. No issues with it there and it is very close to the trolling motor so I dont feel like I am wasting any space. Also for the mount up front I put on an angled panther mount on my front deck. I have it holding a hummingbird helix 9. I actually put it on backwards so the mount leans toward to the front. Doing this made the access to the cup holder and tool holder so easy. It actually leans up to open up that space so I can access them. On the top of that mount is where I installed my gimbal mount for the hummingbird.

Hope that helps. I can take a picture if you need.
