    Need advice on graph mounts for Charger 210

    Our new Charger 210 should be in within a couple of weeks. I will have 2 HDS12s at the console and 1 HDS at bow. I have a game plan for the bow unit but I haven't made my mind up for the console yet. I'm torn between the two options:
    1) One flush mounted and one on Ram Mount (or comparable mount)
    2) Both 12s on dual mount on dash

    If you have a Charger and have pics, I'd love to see them. If you have some good input on a setup, please tell me.

    Thanks.

    Can't help you with two 12's at console as I only have a 7 flush mounted and a 12 on a balzout mount to the side of the console.

    At the bow I have a 12 on a dek-it mount above the trolling motor pedal and a Garmin 10" for live scope on a balzout mount.
    To be honest I wish I would have just went with 2 balzout mounts. Reason being if the sun is hitting the unit on the dek-it just right it is hard to see the screen; if it was on a balzout I could rotate it some to be able see the screen better.

    I would highly recommend the balzout mount compared to a ram mount!

    The Balzout is head and shoulders above the Ram mount for sure!

    I have twin 9's on a Bass Boat Tech mount. They actually stick out into the isle getting up to the front deck. 12's I would think will make it harder.
    I got nothin

    Dual 12 on the 210 dash would be a lot side to side .

    I think I've settled on mounting a single mount at console like the Bass Boat Technology mount and then one on the side mounted on a Ram Swing Arm Bracket.

    Do yourself a HUGE favor and do NOT use a Ram mount!! Get a Balzout or if you want to spend more money get a Kong mount.
    The ram mount WILL slip no matter how tight you get it.

    Clint the Ram swing arm 109-HU is a cheap and very solid choice. Had one on my 210 Champion with a Carbon 12.

    That is what I am going with. I have the Ram Mounts now with the balls and they do indeed slip. I've wrapped tennis racket grip around the balls and that helps a lot, but in rough water then still will fall.

    Thanks for all of the advice guys!!
