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?
