I finally settled on how I would mount my fishmark 320. The wider screen presented some different challenges, but I liked this idea. (However, it definitely lacks the creativity level of the numerous recent good solutions for the cuda mounts)
1. I drilled the hole in the center of my plastic mounting bracket, and purchased suitable wood screws with a smooth base and 2 nylon washers. Picture 1.
2. I then drilled the screw into the 2x4 to the desired snugness. The entire unit can rotate 360 degrees if needed, and can be easily adjusted on the water. (Pics 2,3). The screw is more than long enough to completely stabilize the unit, but the set-up provides a mobility that wouldn't be possible if I mounted the bracket with the standard 4 screws provided.
I still have the longer cables that require storage in the pocket, but I'm OK with that. My finder gets double duty as my ice unit. Critiques requested, and thanks again for the wealth of good ideas on this forum. The picture and link folders will be great assets also. I can't wait to see the finished product.
