Fishing electronics are getting more powerful all the time and are becoming more essential in taking your fishing to the next level. These high-end electronics do come at a price, however, so to protect that investment, you’d be wise to have them mounted securely so they are both easily visible and adjustable but also safely fastened during travel both on and off the water.
Full-time fishing guide and expert boat rigger Chuck Hasse of Leisure Outdoor Adventures relies on his electronics daily for his livelihood and success with clients, so he needs peace of mind when it comes to protecting the tools of the trade. He spends his days on Leech Lake, where it can get pretty wild, with the bow getting pounded by waves over and over during a long run on a windy day. In all his research, Hasse has found that the Beat Down Outdoors “The Ultimate” bracket is the most solid and easy-to-use product on the market. “The Ultimate” comes with oversized knobs and bi-metal technology for easy height adjustment up to nearly 2 feet. Hasse uses four 3/16-inch carriage bolts attached to a metal backer for a rock-solid base on the bow. The mount holds two full-size units and is securely yet easily adjustable with a patented reverse telescopic design to keep the screens safely stowed in the down position or upright for nice eye-level viewing. Hasse relies on these mounts for his bow-mounted electronics and the two units he has mounted at the council for a clean and secure fit when at the wheel. Putting electronics on your boat is a big investment so why not take the next step in protecting that investment by installing heavy-duty mounting brackets that are solid, easy to use and remove, and just look sharp wherever you decide to install.
