    Front graph mounting

    Upgrading to a gen 3 12 on the front of my bird. Anyone have any pics of the way their front larger graphs are mounted? Appreciate any help!

    Precision Sonar bracket, or a Ram Mount to get it higher to see it better and reach it better to make it much easier to push buttons and such.

    I just got a piece of aluminum flat bar from lowes and bent it and drilled some holes. Then I made a little piece to brace it to the the tool holder up front. $25 bucks and works great

    I have one on a precision sonar, but probably will replace (lowrance) factory gimbal bracket with a smart bracket. I feel this bracket is the weak link

    The stock plate may be strong enough but it sure is thin and only has 4 screws holding it to the plastic bow shroud. I ordered a BBT plate to mount my Solix 15 and its 1/4 aluminum and uses 6 screws and it much stiffer. I opted for the bow plate instead of the bridge like I had on my previous boat because the 15" is large and I didn't want it crowding the TM pedal.

    TH Marine Wave Tamer worked for me. Was pretty inexpensive too. Rock solid

    Trick mount. It’s a very sturdy mount and can easily be taken off if needed.

    I installed a deck-it Mount with 22 degree offset. Worked perfect for my helix 10
