I have had both units in the well and didnt really like it all that much. The angle wasnt right for me. Next boat I went with the Ram mount and loved it. I had a 9 inch Humminbird in the well and a Vexilar Edge3 on the Ram so these are decent sized units I am talking about and the vast majority of my fishing is on Champlain. You would be surprised at how little jarring motion there is up front. I would leave the unit up unless it was really rough, then I would lay it flat, face down on the front deck and tighten the Ram mount. Again, no movement, ever. I would lay it flat when I trailered fearing a stray rock or whatever. I will do the same setup in my 2013. I loved it this way.I would suggest a dry run on a nice calm day before you actually install the Ram mount. You want it in a good spot for viewing and leaving room for the butt ends of your rods.Bill Spence St. Albans, VT [url=mailto:billspence@yahoo.com]billspence@yahoo.com[/url] http://www.twinstatebassin.com Bass Cat Boats http://www.basscat.com Vexilar Marine Electronics http://www.vexilar.com
