Anyone have any creative options for mounting the GPS Puck on a ZX250 other than drilling into the top cap. I know there is a Ram Mount plate that the puck can mount behind the unit but I have heard that reception is sketchy doing it this way. Any other options that someone has used? Unit is a X-27C. Thanks.
Some guys have mounted theirs up under the gunwale in the rod box and say they work just fine.
You are right about the RAM adapter plate, I had one on my 332 when I first installed it and didnt work. Actually, I ended up sticking it on with a blob of silicone. I stuck it not far from the clamshell that I ran all the other wires out of.

I have put them on boats I was running before with velcro strips. It worked great and didn't drill any holes in the boat. It never came off even at 70+ MPH.
Or you can use some 3M double sided tape (heavy duty). I did that when i moved mine to the bow and a year later, it's still there.You could always pull it up if you want to move it. Of course you have to reroute the wires.

Thanks for the ideas. I think I like the double sided tape idea so far.
JRE, where did you get the RAM mount and the GPS antenae setup? I like that option as well. I'm not sure about mounting under rod locker. that might be a little to far from the ducer.
I got the main RAM mount and the RAM antenna mount from Cabelas , and I got the antenna spat from 3 Rivers Marine.
