midgastumpjumper Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 I have been contemplating purchasing a 899ci hd si combo. I want to have a swivel mount that will give me lots of freedom of movement and allow it to face the front and rear of the boat. After I quick google shopping search I wasn't able to locate a mount as quickly as I thought. Anyone know where to get the best deal on a mount? I wont get it unless I can mount it how I want to and the price of the mount matters as I am on a budget. the best price on the unit I found is at http://www.thedigitaloasis.com/Humminbird-899ci-Hd-Si-Combo-Side-Imaging-Tm-Transducer_p_29059.html#.U8SE-15OXIV. Per the description it doesn't appear I will come with any type of mount much less the one I want. thanks in advance Quote
Super User slonezp Posted July 15, 2014 Super User Posted July 15, 2014 Look up ram mounts. You'll want the 2.25" for an 899. There are a couple different styles Quote

Super User WIGuide Posted July 15, 2014 Super User Posted July 15, 2014 Ram Mount is what you want. No they aren't super cheap but they will provide the flexibility that you want. Quote
BobP Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 X4 on the RAM. The only problem I see is the cable bundle for a H'bird with GPS and Side Scan is fairly thick which makes turning the head unit 180 degrees sort of awkward. Besides, do you really want to have to turn around while you're fishing to look at the screen? If you ever fish a dropshot or jigging spoon, that just won't work very well, IMO. Quote
