Best way to mount a 28hd on my Sabre

[Dennis Sandoval]

I have a 28hd I really want to mount on my 2010 Sabre FTD and I dont have a good place to put it on the console. There is not many place to RAM mount one. Has anyone mounted one on the left side of the console? I am worried it will get in the way of me getting out from the console. If I mount it on the right side, I will need to get some kind of shim to go behind the ball because it is not flat. Any input would be appreciated. Dennis S.

The right side is a better option on a side panel.

Ive been thinking about pulling the speedometer and getting one of the solid aluminum bezeled plates BCB uses to mount the touch pads on. Probably require a solid backing plate to eliminate flex. Mount the RAM base onto the plate. Unless youre running digital gauges – who uses an analog speedometer anymore. It would be functional and keep you from drilling extra holes in the glass.

Heres a photo of a 997 SI on the left side with a ram mount on my 08 Sabre. Its about mid-thigh height and Ive not hit it in 2 years (about 200 engine hours). Just be sure to use through bolts with oversize washers on the back of the console (against the glass).

RAM D 235Uhttp://www.ram-mount.com/CatalogResults … fault.aspxI use this with an HDS 8 and it works great. No holes to drill either.

Thanks! Im looking at putting it on the right side of the console, but the left side might work out okay. Im afraid in rough water the mount will let it bounce on the gunnel. I wish I had a rail to mount it to. Narrow gunnels and the retractable cleat are what have me undecided.
