Hey all! First time poster as I just found this forum. Have had boats all my life and recently decided to take a minimalist approach and sold my Robalo Cayman 226 and get a jon. Going to pick up a lightly used Lowe 1652MT w/25hp Yami this evening. I live in north central FL and routinely fish the nature coast from Homosassa up to Steinhatchee. If you know this area, you know how treacherous it is. This jon boat will enable me to explore the back country and creeks a lot easier. I have been running ISLA Mapping/FL Marine Tracks and took the card from my Lowrance Elite9 Ti. Can't live without it now, it's that good.
OK, here's the question: What is everyone running on their tiller boats for graph mounts? I won't have a vertical grab bar. Is there some kind of ram mount for the rail or something? I seen plenty of mounts for console boats but not much else. I plan on getting another Elite 9 Ti or possibly a used 12" Simrad from a buddy but I want it to be secure on the boat.
