Going to upgrade electronics and go with Balzout mounts. I was going to use the 6" arm for Helix 12 on the console. Have a 4" Rammount arm now for 898 unit.
Going to move 898 up front and put on a 12" Balzout mount. I like my fish finder up higher. Anyone else doing same? Just trying to prevent any gotchas'
check with cajun fryer first, He makes some similar and they are very good!Quote:

I was going to use the Balzout as well for my new electronics but went with Cajun Fryers mount after some advice from CDC. I have a Helix 10 mounted up front on a 12" with a 6" extension and really like it. You can kick it down really good and it is holding up fine to some heavy pounding. I made sure and put some good backing behind the the aluminum to stiffen it up a bit. Here is a pick without the 6" extension.

Like the mount. Unfortunately, have new FF and Balzout mounts ordered and on the way. That boat looks familiar. Lowe?
Yes, Lowe stinger 195. Bought it in January and it was fun getting it rigged.

Thought so.. This one is mine. I have documented everything I have done to it. Making some major changes this year including new electronics.Quote:

Yes, I reviewed your posts in great detail before rigging mine which is also on here somewhere. I sent Lowe some feedback on some things I would change after using the boat for a few months but they never responded. Next winter I am probably going to add an ulterra with iPilot link, GPS puck and map chips. It's only money right?

Marine, What size bolts did you use on your mount? It is drilled for 5/16", but I used 1/4" SS countersunk bolts.

Here's are new style. Got rid of the aluminum knobs always need some kind of tool to tighten them so we went with stainless bolts. Added in an adjustment at the top so you don't need a leveling puck.
Added one hand knob at the base so that you can remove mount and unit as one in case you need to take it in at night.
We also have a knuckle that allows you to put two arms together and get up higher or bend towards you.
We make a base spacer that goes under the base and allows your wires to come from under the base. So you don't need to drill another hole for you wires to come out of. Makes a very clean set upAttachment 243813
Love the mounts.....just wish I had the nice flat area on my console like the one you show. Where are you mounting on an RT 188C?Quote:
