Help mounting a graph

As opposed to drilling, my vote goes to a Ram handrail mount. If you sell her, take it out and keep it. No holes to worry with. Not sure if you have lighted handrails on the FTD, though.

That may be an option. The fiberglass is a lot thicker than you would think but I still put a metal backing plate on the inside.

I tie my rope to the ram mount hahahha

Youre right, no handrails. I guess push comes to shove I could tie to the ram mount, but I would rather not. I do like the ram to the side of the console. I didnt know if that is possible. There is a slight contour on my console. I didnt really want to mount to low on the console to protect rod tips.

Similar issue here. 2012 Eyra and side of console does not have large flat area. Looking at Lowrance Carbon 12 unit (when available) and trying to figure out best way to mount. Have an extra ram mount but not sure the side of console has enough contact area for Ram base?? Thinking about mounting on top of gunwale but nervous with all the wiring in gunwale? Suggestions, ideas and pictures please.

Use two if the medium size Ram mounts on the Sherms mount. I dont have a pic, but thats what I did on my Sabre FTD…I have a small 5″ Lowrance mounted off to its side on the Sherms with just its gimbal, and an 898c si on a Ram to the right. My Sherms was drilled so I was able to use 3 of the 4 Ram ball mount holes and that worked fine, but easy enough to add a hole ir two if needed.2011 Sabre FTD w/ Mercury 150 Pro XS, Power Pole Sportsman 2s, Humminbird 898 w/ 360 and 858 at bow, 898 at ConsoleFor lots of BCB love, follow me on instagram: @professorbeard

I didnt know if the Sherms mount would support the 2 units. I thought about making an adapter plate but the weight would be pushing its limits I think. I wish you had pics Somata. And if anyone can post pics of the ram mounted where the pop up cleat is I would appreciate it.
