[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 490679, member: 22613"] From what I have seen, they are typically set up with the graphs on the port side, slightly ahead so they are easy to see while running. In this configuration, the transducers are mounted on the far port edge of the transom, so assuming you're right handed, and sitting facing the port side, it's a pretty ergonomic motion to drop straight down basically on top of the transducer. To accomplish that I think you'd need to make some sort of bracket that hangs on the gunnel. I don't think you would want to go on the bench since that places the graphs too close and awkward to view on plane, you'd want them slightly ahead and angled towards you. My first thought is to attach both graphs to a solid piece of aluminum rectangle tubing or bar stock, and fasten a large ram ball to it. The rest of the ram mount would be fastened by a gunnel clamp like has already been suggested. [/QUOTE]
