Default Fish Finder Swing Arm Mounts

Has anyone know where to buy a swing arm mount for the Humminbird Matrix 17?

Thanks in advance, Jack

Check out Ram Mounts. They have all types of configurations for different mounts. This is a photo of mine.

CB,
If you know you want the ram mount, depending on where you're located you could try walk in store like west marine, or even alot of the kayak shops are carrying RAM products these days.

Please let us know where you live and if you want to buy in person and we'll try to help out a bit more if you still need places to buy one. TC&TL,
Perry

Perry -

Many thanks. How much swing play does the arm have? 2 inches, 6 inches a foot? In other words what is the diameter of the circle of adjustment?

You can contact Express mounts at expressmounts.com. Tell them what fish finder you have and they will set you up with the right mount plate for your fish finder. Then all you have to do is figure out how you want to mount it to your yak. I used a 5 1/4" double socket arm on a 1" ball with a round base. (Pictured above with 3" arm) This will swing in any direction I want it. I mounted it on the inside of the foot well so when I go to load my yak on the truck I can just swing it down out of the way. This one works well for me. But there is lots of ways to configure these mounts.
