    I just saw a pic today of Swindle's boat with his graph mounted like that in Outdoor Life. His mount "bridged" over the well. Probably a custom job but seemed easy enough to have made.

    I figured that. His has a recessed well also. If you look at the pic I'm sure it could be adapted for a G boat. I was planning on having one made this spring I liked the idea so much.

    Why not use a big ram mount and mount it to either side of the TM at the very front of the deck? It would get it closer to you and still makes for a clean install IMO. I don't see how you could fit an 898 in that recess
