I have my elite 7 hdi on a ram mount port side. I'm right handed and gaff my fish on the right side. I think mounting ff in the center has a few benefits. 1 less spray on the unit 2 out of the way. I like mine where it is and would only move it if the spray wrecks my ff.

Thank you for the information, your going to have to show me the HDI unit sometime, I was gaming for that model, but ended up getting a pretty good deal on a GEN 2 HDS Nautic. If you ever want to carpool to LJ or any other spots, let me know as I'm in Temecula as well.

PA 12 w/ hummingbird 597

i use the sail mast, like you everything i "drive" i enter and bail to the left. so the left gunnel is not for me.
im right handed so i gaff with my right hand. and the sonar gets in the way on the right. the sail mast is a pain and not convenient if you like to tweek with the sonar but it's out of the way, easy to see and i dont fiddle with it as much.
