898 SI (997 SI) Console Mount Options Available
« on: December 23, 2009, 11:40:27 AM »


I am planing to purchase the new 898 SI when available in Spring.  I presently have a Lund 1700 Explorer SS with a console mounted Lowrance.  I'm told the new 898 mount will be similar to the current 997.  Is that mount "Stationary" or can it swivel or pivot?

The Lowrance I now have is on a "Johnny Ray Mount".  If I fish near the bow, I can swivel it. It also has a "Quick Release" feature that allows you unplug one connection and take it off when docked, etc.

As to the 898 (and 997), does anyone know if that's available with a Humminbird?  Has anyone seen an add on that has a flexible arm mount for boat electronics (similar to a goose neck)?

Thanks to anyone.

There are numerous Ram Mounts available for the units you mentioned. I use one on my 798 and turn it for viewing from the bow when ever fishing alone.
Freedom isnt free, if you want to know the real cost visit a national cemetery or VA Hospital.

The 898 will not come with any type of swivel mount device.  It is a straight U-shaped gimbal mount.  I would look at RAM and possibly some other brands of mounts for what you are looking for.

Thanks for your reply.  I'm surprised Humminbird does not have what I want as an add-on. Seems they could make a pretty good buck by adding some swivels and arms to their catalog.  Some other options I see on the net are not made to fit exactly a certain HB model but they appear to be somewhat adaptable.  The RAM Brand mounts I saw seem very overpriced, over $100.  The Johnny Ray Mount for a 997 says it's not an exact match, etc.  Thanks anyway and have a fun holiday.
