Dose anyone know of any mounting options for the 898. If I use the mount that comes with the unit it will cover my whole dash. thanks

I have the large ram mount on mine, mounted on top of my console.

I do not know what mount it came with it originally, It did not have one when I bought it.

I like this since I can move it around and change angle and direction depending what I am doing.

I am also going to put the fishfinder on my kayak, so I just bought I new transducer, gps antenna, power cable, and the mounting ball and I can switch back and forth.

Found the pic I took the first time I turned it on after mounting....

That is where I usually keep it when piloting for long runs, but I move it up and down, side to side, when moving from spot to spot I am usually standing so I move it higher and tilt it, when we are in the front we turn it 180°, etc

the pic on the table is before mounting it on the console.
