Looking for a heavy duty Gimbal Bracket for an HDS 12 unit to mount on my Deck it up front. The factory Gimbal doesn't seem sturdy when either traveling down the road or in rough water, unit vibrates and shakes a lot. I got a quote from Precision and theirs is close to $200. Anybody have any other recommendations for a sturdy gimbal?

Bass Boat Technologies has some too. I have precision on mine at the console and love it. Definitely worth the money.

No recommendations but I understand your dilemma. Mounts costing more than some entry level graphs!

Ive got the Precision mount at console, and yes very sturdy. I just need a sturdier Gimbal for my Deck it mount up front.

Precision Sonar, Bass Boat Technologies, or Dek It. Can go wrong with any of them.

I have a 12 up front on my boat and a Ram mount works just fine.
