I've never had it shift even a little bit. I don't run 4-5 waves but have been in 2 footers. I run the Helix 7 so I can't comment on larger or heavier units.

I have a Helix 12 mounted on the Ram Swing Arm mount and find it to be exceptional. Very stable and I can easily swing the screen around facing the bow if I wish. Used an aluminum backer plate underneath to reinforce the console.

The white piece is just a scrap piece of 1/2" thick white starboard (hdpe). I reinforced it underneath with an aluminum plate. Here is a picture of the components. In my picture it is a piece of 1/2" thick Black starboard from an identical install I did for a friend's boat.

Thanks Joe! That helps a lot. Any reason not to use starboard as the backer too instead of the aluminum?
I could have used either one just chose the aluminum in this case.

Still shocked that the industry hasn't provided us more solutions for additional graph solutions at the console. One can only hope!

I love that lake Wayne! Best lake in VA for big bass
I have my HB 998c SI on a RAM D mount. I used a round piece of aluminum under the side console for sturdiness.
I drive on bumpy Texas back roads, hit 2-3 foot white caps and the thing does not budge. console1.jpgconsole2.jpg
