Here is a pic that my daughter took that shows the mount from below. Not the best detail, but it conveys the approach. In this shot, I am standing forward enjoying the breeze as we are cruising. The position, proximity, & look angle when needing to view the monitor is excellent using this mount & the installation requires minimal drilling through the hard top. The wiring is fished through the access plates below the arch, & exit through anearby removeable cover over the starboard wiper motor. Also, my helm console is still virgin.

Here are soem pics of my elecrtonics installation which uses a single S/S tube, pressed down at teh ends, installed to the hard top grab-rail hardware. Besides the tube, there are some machined parts that get fabricate to attach the electronics side plates. This was very creative & was designed by the guy that I purchased the boat from. It is at a good height to be out of the way, but is highly visible if you need to scrutinize some small chart detail.









I still need to modify the plastic cover over the wiper motor to neaten thing up..

That's a very interesting installation. But I have to be honest, I'd probably prefer to have everything flush mounted in the console. Personally, I like to have all my information in one place, to reduce eye fatigue.

I like the stainless steel tube idea, no drilling holes I am considering some type of pole holder idea utilizing the forward & aft roof bolts to attach poles. I DONT WANT TO DRILL
if i dont have to. A roll of the plastic split corrigated tubing would cover your wires nicely

Not to steal the thread, where did you get the roof rack for the fishing rods? Very nice idea.

that rod rack came from Boaters World http://www.boatersworld.com/product/479530453.htm

It was only $25 and works great for for everything but my heaviest boat rods (6/0 reels, 50# line). the trick to teh installation is to use short SS screws with holes just big enough to screw into. Teh drill holes do not go through to the topside. I also used some 3M 5200 as an adhesive/sealant.
