Electronics bow mount recommendation

I am tweaking my Cougar FTD order with regard to electronics and have pretty much finalized my choices except for a bow mount for a Humminbird 10 Helix Mega. I believe it normally comes with a RAM mount. I have read a quite a few reviews about how it moves. My experience with RAM on smaller units has been similar but acceptable. Given a larger unit I would prefer an upgrade. What does BCB recommend and what is the feedback on Balzout. Ive read many positive reviews on them. Does the red one fade easily? Thank you.

I have had a Humminbird 1158 on a red Balzout for about 2 years. I’m completely satisfied with it myself. I have seen some say it is “too” sturdy and that all the shock must go to the unit. Well, I fish Toledo Bend almost exclusively and yes it is sturdy but the gimble bracket gives some movement when hitting waves. There are positives and negatives with almost any product but I’m happy with it. I have noticed very little if any fading of the red so far.
