Siebert Outdoors Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 For you guys using 10-16" depth finders what mount are you using to hold the electronics in place. I just bought a 12" carbon and need a good sturdy mount. Right now I'm looking at the balzout. Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted October 14, 2017 Super User Posted October 14, 2017 Don't have a 12in carbon but do have a 9in graph up front. Balzout is definitely more sturdy/rock solid than the 2.25 larger ram mount and will never move once you lock it down. However...I prefer the larger ram mount because it gives me more options/adjustability to move it around. I fish similar waters as you + the river so I'm not out on a KY lake type rough water area and don't have the issues a lot of guys have /w the larger ram mount bouncing loose and moving around. Mine is rock solid. Also, the 2-3 weeks in the fall that I pretend to be a walleye guy on the river, I like to be able to extend that super tall Ram mount straight up so i can video game fish vertically jigging for walleye. If you're putting it at the console, I would go /w the BBT if mounting it above the steering wheel. Precision sonar makes a nice one but I just prefer the BBT. If you're side mounting it on the ledge next to you, I would go /w the Balzmount. Enjoy that new carbon Mike. They look sick. I've got a 50-60 piece jig order coming your way in the next month. 1 Quote
