    USA Electronics mount

    So I had my boat at the local dealer and while it was there, my hds12 was stolen. It was originally flush mounted but now looking for a better way to mount so that the electronics can be removed.

    So, what's the best mount out there? Console and bow for 2015 z520c.

    If you have pics that would be great too.

    Thanks!

    I think the best made mounts are Boatlogix.

    Take a look at Bass Boat Technologies mounts with some E-locks. They will fit on your existing openings where you would flush mount them front add at the consul.

    my buddy lost his keys to his E-Locks. He just put a pair of channel locks on his e-locks and they screwed right off.

    This. You can't touch them for the price either.


    I put a Cisco Tilt Lok on the bow of my boat as I was able to get the graph up higher. It works well also, and easy to remove with a couple thumb screws.

    Go to the BBT web site and dial up your boat and model year. A multitude of options. I have Van's work on my console and bow......all top notch and solid.

    I love the Balzout mounts I installed. https://www.balzoutllc.com/ Holds my 12 inch units very securely with little or no vibration and are very adjustable.

    Here are the two I made for the front of my boat. I screwed the angle iron down along the sides of my foot pedal tray. Mounted the units on the brackets. Now I just have two palm nuts for each. Off and on in 2 minutes.

    Precision Sonar or BBT for the console units. Very clean and sturdy mounts for single and dual units.

    The bow will need to be based on what and where you want. Its really personal preference based on location.

    Ram Swing Arm Mount for the console and Precision Sonar for the bow. Do what works for you as long as you remove the electronics.

    I have Ram Swing Arms on console and bow of my 481. I like these as they do not move. My console is not mount friendly for the BBT's etc w/o doing an entire console rebuild.

    Precision Sonar. Not cheap, but very well made and great customer service.

    I have to question that, a little. I suppose you could crush them to get to the screws, but a pair of channel locks isn't going to hold the screw head very easily.
    I got nothin
