Bob, I installed a Garmin chartplotter (probably smaller) and the Autopilot display/controls using RAM mounts and Scanstrut instrument pod. Most these pods install directly to the binnacle guard, but you can fiddle around a bit and mount it on a RAM mount with two swivel balls (round base with ball, double socket arm and the 1" rail U-mount).
Some pictures here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/n77i7g6khqqc73f/20190804_144218.jpg?dl=0 and https://www.dropbox.com/s/c8538cz1ghvbxdn/20190726_212737.jpg?dl=0 It was reasonably cost effective and it works well if you want to operate either from behind the wheel or from the side coaming or even from in-front of the wheel. It worth the while to do some Internet shopping around, as the prices vary quite a bit.

Any suggestions on how to mount it to my Edson pedestal so I can rotate it sideways, for easy viewing from the coaming? I rarely steer from behind the wheel so I want to see it from the sides. The pedestal is about the same height as the wheel (not my boat, but similar setup. I don't have the top tray): https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi44.servimg.com%2Fu%2Ff44%2F17%2F14%2F05%2F22%2F2012-110.jpg&data=04%7C01%7C%7Cbfc9ec5355cf43bf2a3708d9b5fb2e7f%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637740912688329476%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=PkMTJJWfnPjlpWNVSR2BewSDnICKEWk8UzScUKf58Ro%3D&reserved=0) The chartplotter is the B&G Vulcan 9. regards, Bob Mann Thanks to all of the subscribers that contributed to the list to help with the costs involved.
