    Show me your front graph installation, I'm looking for ideas

    I'm trying to decide how I'm going to mount a Helix7 on the front of my 184 and need some inspiration from the Champion folks.

    Any boat I have ever had I use RAM mounts. 1.5" ball size will work fine for the 7" screen

    I replaced the TM access plate on the left side and installed a scrap piece of starboard and attached the RAM mount base to it. works perfect for my Lowrance 7 Chirp and no need to drill into the deck.

    So just a piece of plastic cut and dipped? How is it attached? Just siliconed in? Sorry to hijack the thread.

    Another vote for the Dek It. No issues with my Helix 12 or my buddy's Helix 10.

    I mounted my 12" Helix on a ram mount and it's rock solid. I fish Lake Michigan and it doesn't budge in the heavier water.

    Never saw a deck it. Looks good! Mine is on a ram ball mount but it has some good points and bad ones.
