I made this & put a tennis ball on the tee for a bounce buster. With the Scotty mount I can adjust it if needed to help keep it from bouncing when lying on the deck too. Simply loosen a handle & lay it down to stow when running & raise up & tighten a handle to hold in position. Works great & only cost was the tee since I already had the Scotty mount. As you can see I also have a bench style bicycle repair stand for my pole mount. The white pipe is just a dry fitting to see what I thought about using it.
I am 400+ miles from my boat or I would send you pictures. The razor mount is what I used. I went to a local resale shop and got one for a whopping $3.60. A few stainless bolts, some hacksaw and grinder work and I have less than $5 in it. Swivels, and can be locked up or down with the press of a lever. The Garmin mount fits inside the razor shaft without having to do any modifications. go to youtube. There is videos there on how to do it.
I've saw the videos of it.
Yes kycreek. The r-200 works well. As stated I'm running a 1022 garmin is what I have mounted on the top. My unit is mounted between rod holders and my seats where everything is easy reach for adjustments .
I ordered a double seat.
