Default Lowrance HDS 5 mounts

Bought a Lowrance HDS 5 and broke the bracket on the 1st trip out Saturday. What's a good aftermarket replacement? RAM?

RAM mounts seem to work great. Talk to Jchief about how his are set up.

Saw a stainless replacement bracket before. I got the HDS 5 and agree the factory bracket is cheap. If and when mine breaks I will go back with the stainless bracket. I will see if I can find it for you.

I have RAM on the front and console, but still have the original Lowrance brackets mounted to it.
