Johnny Ray mounts

[blindhog]

I am looking for a mount for my HB859 on the center console. I want to be able to swivel it around to face the front when I am fishing up there.
I came across these mounts on BP, does anybody have one?
Are they good and worth it?
Do they hold well in choppy water and ruff rides?

Thanks

I have Johnny Rays on my Pondtoon. They suit my needs. They haven't failed yet. They are plastic, so I dunno durability. I have had them 2 years.

If your concern is mostly rough water or rough ride, get ram mounts.

Balzout mounts all machined aluminum....no plastic ball to wear out.

I would stay away from the Johnny Ray ..... I was thinking of getting one til I took a ride in my brothers boat...He has a 998....His unit really got to shaking and he had to hold his hand on it to stabilize it.

I have a balzout mount. It sometimes pinches the crap out of my hand when I adjust it. It has a permanent home in the closet now.

I have my 998 mounted on one of these at the front of my stick steer and it can get pretty rough running wide open. Have never had a problem. Never shakes or vibrates and it is strong enough you could stand on it.

Yeah I was looking at those, but didn't really want the unit to sit up so high.
Guess one swing arm coming right up!

Thanks Guys!

How does that do in ruff water?
