I installed a wood platform in front of my guard with a rotating Navpod for my chartplotter on top. Cables run through the bottom of the pod and platform and then into the existing holes in the guard. I love it and would never go back to a fixed angle chartplotter. I love being able to rotate it side to side as I tack, especially for racing, but also for navigation in tight spots. Dave
