I have a Raymarine ES 7 and used a Navpod pod on a stainless steel arm which allowed me to mount the MFD above the compass without needing a taller pedestal guard. One thing I wanted was to make sure my wiring and electrical connectors aren’t exposed to the elements, and a guard mounted enclosure achieved that. It wasn’t inexpensive, but it came with a pre-cut faceplate to the specific instrument I bought and I didn’t need to completely reconfigure my helm. All the wiring runs inside the stainless arm and goes into the pedestal guard and down through the cockpit floor using Edson’s new stainless guard feet. I purchased it at Defender’s warehouse sale at a substantial savings over retail. I was reluctant to go with a taller or angled pedestal guard because my traveler sits immediately in front of the pedestal. Having the mainsheet wrap around an electrical instrument or pedestal guard in a crash gybe can be somewhat problematic..

I am looking for mounting suggestions. Should I get a "pod" and, if so, from whom? I don't really want a large, disproportionate one. Or should I just make my own out of plastic? Thanks, Mike Atacama C&C 33 mkii _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions. Each and every one is greatly appreciated.
