Which Ram Mount did you use? I'd like to try the same approach
Allen Miles 30-2 Septima Hampton From: Joel Aronson Sent: Monday, April 14, 2014 10:41 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Stus-List iPad Enclosure for Cockpit Steve, I have the same plotter and iPad. The plotter is in the NavPod. I put a Ram Mount on the binnacle guard for the IPad so we can swivel it from side to side when sitting on the rail. I ordered an OtterBox Defender case, but it has not arrived. ZipLoc works for now. The touch screen on the Ipad is easier to use than the one on the E7. I also have the Garmin and Navionics app on the Ipad as a back up. I added a USB charging port to the NavPod to keep the unit charged. If you are travelling south of the border, all of the US charts are free from Ray. You need version 9.4 or higher of the OS. Mine came back with 7.x, so I had to upgrade it. Enjoy!

On the weekend reconnected it and set up my iPad to control remotely (RayControl app). Last year I didn't have the ipad, so the remote control part is new to me. At first look its awesome, esp with the software updates on the E7. Questions for the group: Anyone have operating experiences with this arrangement - good and/or bad? Anyone have enclosure recommendations for the iPad? I was originally going to move the chartplotter to the helm but the wiring, including Seatalk trunk would be a major PITA. It seems like it would be much easier to find an enclosure for the iPad and keep the chartplotter at the chart table.
