Hds-7 ram mounting? What mount? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Upgrading to a hds7 and want to know what ram mount people are using to mount it? Thinking about mounting it where you put the sail on my proangler. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

That's where I have mine. Traded in my 5 for a 7. 7 is obviously requires a larger ram mount. I like it.

1.5 WEDGE MOUNT BALL AND THE 1.5 UNIVERSAL MOUNT

Looks like I have one of the 1.5 wedge mounts, but only 1" universals in stock. West Marine usually has em in stock.

I got mine attached to the mounting boards via yakattack gear tracks. It allows easy adjustment of the settings on the go.

Thanks for the quick responses, I really appreciate the input. My dumbass probably would have bought the 1" ball and not realized it wouldn't hold sufficiently.

Now I might need to acquire a 50/200 transducer. Does anyone have an extra one or maybe want to trade for a hdi 83/200khz 855/400khz Transducer?
