chartplotter mounting

So i finally bought a chartplotter for my boat. I ended up getting the Standard Horizon CP300i (mainly due to price).

The problem I am facing is how to mount it near my wheel so its accessable and viewable from the helm. I have an older Edson pedestal steering with no guard in front.

I am thinking about clamping a ball and clamp mount to the pedastal (4" diameter maybe) and having the arm come up about 2 feet so its about level with the top of the wheel. But I cant seem to find any hardware that would work for this idea of mine.

My cockpit is somewhat tight and I dont want to put the pedastal guard in and mount it to that (plus I am trying to keep the cost down).

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

I've seen some adjustable clamps and mountings for bicycle racks and accessories at bicycle shops that I thought could be well adapted for marine applications. You may want to visit bicycle supplies or lap top trays and mounts. Take care and joy, Aythya crew

RAM Mounts probably make something that would work. Price will be a bit stiff though.
