Anyone installed one at the console? Bought one and trying to decide how to mount it on my 199. The base is too big to mount in the rod channel like my Ram mount did. Looking at putting it on the console itself but it's not a flat surface.

I mounted mine on the console, had to put a rubber spacer to make my graph sit level. Also I mounted a 12inch screen and with that mount it’s really heavy so I added a rubber brace that sits on the gunnel. I’ll try to take a picture
Or should I exchange the round base for a bullet base?
I put mine on the flat space on the gunnel just to the right of the console, not much room but I got it to fit, same spot I've seen alot of guys put a gps puck.
Edit: on that model you might be able to mount the base directly to the console, might call balzout an see if they sell block wedge so it will fit flush on the gunnel, seems I've seen these type of wedges on skeeter boats for the sonar mount, don't remember if it was balzout or ram mount though. Bullet base is probably the way to go if mounting it on side of the console.

I can take a close-up tomorrow if you want
You need the puck and it mounts perfect. Just sand it to the angle and Perfect!!!

I got it mounted. I went with a bullet base and also made my own spacer out of 3/4" thick plastic.
