Bob, I have seen boats that put a swivel mount on the top of the pedestal guard, but I always found that to be too high and a safety issue (crew reaching for something to hold on to).
I used to set mine up with one of those removable West Marine rail clamps attached to the bracket. That enabled me to swivel the chart plotter so I could see it from the helm or from the side.

Any suggestions on how to mount it to my Edson pedestal so I can rotate it sideways, for easy viewing from the coaming? I rarely steer from behind the wheel so I want to see it from the sides. The pedestal is about the same height as the wheel (not my boat, but similar setup. I don't have the top tray): https://i44.servimg.com/u/f44/17/14/05/22/2012-110.jpg) The chartplotter is the B&G Vulcan 9. regards, Bob Mann Thanks to all of the subscribers that contributed to the list to help with the costs involved.
