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.
Ram has a swing arm mount ...
RAM Single 6" Swing Arm with 6.25" X 2" Rectangle Base and Vertical Mounting Base
Rickie
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.Quote:
