A few years ago I was asked by a customer to come up with a mount for his 7" chart plotter that:


1- Was NOT one of those "gawd awful looking" NavPod boxes (his words not mine).


2- Could utilize the existing 1" Edson feet and 1" pedestal guard top plate.


3- Was symmetrical and not off to one side.


4- That looked professional, like it came from the factory.


5- Still provide a hand hold.


6- Make the plotter easily removable.


7- Not cost an arm and a leg.


8- Kept the plotter and cables mostly out of harms way.
