Marine mounting is a different challenge than vehicle or home mounting. Salt water corrodes bare metal, constant vibration loosens cheap hardware, and suction cups simply don’t work in a marine environment. The guides below cover phones, tablets, fish finders, GPS units, antennas, transducers, and Scotty system accessories.
Picking the right boat flag mount comes down to one question: what part of your boat can actually take the load? A rail clamp, a rod holder, a wake tower leg, and a pontoon fence rail all call for different hardware, and grabbing the wrong style is the fastest way

Choosing the right Raymarine Dragonfly mount requires looking closely at the back of your display before you order any hardware.

A good Garmin Striker 4 mount needs to do three things well: hold the screen steady in rough water, keep the controls within easy reach, and let you adjust the viewing angle without wrestling the hardware every time the sun moves. The Garmin Striker 4, Striker Plus 4, and Striker
