[QUOTE="RivRunR, post: 297364, member: 1928"] Don't know if it would work for what you're trying to do, but after much experimenting I went with a [u][url=https://www.expressmounts.com/ram-mount-horizontal-straight-swing-arm-with-post-plate.html]RAM Swing Arm Mount[/url][/u] for my HB 898. I tried mounting it on various 2-ball type RAMs, but didn't like them because both balls would loosen when I really only needed it to swivel 180, and I was constantly fighting it to get it back to where I wanted it. The swing arm RAM lets me swivel the display 180+ degrees, so I can rotate it and see it from anywhere on the boat. [i]However[/i] you can only change the tilt angle of the display via the knobs on the HB gimbal mount, not the RAM. [/QUOTE]
