RAM Mount Question

nofearengineer · 01-15-10, 11:52 AM

Does anyone know if there is a mount that would enable me to flip a helm-mount fishfinder 180 degrees about its horizontal axis (like those big freestanding full-length mirrors).

The reason I ask is if I get a Side-imaging sonar, when I go to the bow, I could just flip the unit, rather than swivel it around, and the side imaging scan would still move in the same direction as the boat. I'm sure I could get used to the left being the right, and vice-versa, but why do it if I don't have to?

Haha...never mind. I just answered my own question. The standard mounting bracket for the Lowrance HDS, for instance is a yoke-style that pivots around the horizontal axis. Looks like it will work great, right out of the box.
