Hey guys, I am looking for suggestions on the best way to mount a GPS. I bought a ram suction mount trying to avoid drilling holes in the dash, but that didnt work out quite like i planned. Any tips or pics are appreciated.

depends on what model you have but i took the speedo out of my 36 and mounted it using the hole it came out of. fit right between the tacks and did not have to drill a single hole.

Sydwazy, were you able to get the velcro out when you sold the boat?

Yep, no issues whatsoever. A stiff tug, and some 3M Adhesive Remover = all good.

Thanks, will give it a shot when I get around to buying a GPS

That does look awesome! I think I might give that a shot as well with my Garmin 76S.

Thanks for the ideas. I never thought about using velcro. I might give it a shot

Just be sure to find/obtain that heavy duty plastic Velcro like pictured. Its made by 3M, and I have only seen it at Boaters World. It is VERY strong. I am not kidding when I say I used to have to pry the base off with a screwdriver.
