Look good! What mount do you have on the bow? I would like to get my Bird up higher.
You will really like it up high like that,no more reaching down to push buttons
I made that mount last year, it uses two Ram clamps, a base and the base that the DF mounts to. The extension between the two clamps is a piece of aluminum tube with 1/2" aluminum plugs welded in the ends then drilled and tapped for the balls. This one has 1 1/2" balls but I'm afraid that the 8 will need 2 1/4" balls so I may have to make another one.Quote:

You are definitely in "tall cotton".Thumbs Up
Looks good Justin....

Looks good. I just put a 7 up front in my boat. I like the raised mount.....I can see a change coming.
Hopefully the lakes will be settled down and my shoulder will heal enough to do some fishing soon.
I'm going to try mine out for the 1st time on Tuesday, the weather is supposed to be pretty decent up here. I can definitley see the advantage of that high mount.
looks sweet

I offered it to him, but my terms were unacceptable :D, so I thought it would be handy on the console.Quote:

As many times that I've fished in his boat I figure I still owe him a few trips. :)
You could tell him CanePole is selling his HDS7....In the "Personal ads"...Quote:

Looks good!
I priced mine to him quiet a bit less than CP is asking for his amd even offered to leave all the waypoints in it. You know how tight he is.Quote:
