David,

That's the factory supplied mount for the Standard Horizon CP190i GPS.
It's a two axis mount, rotating on the base and tilting at the head.

That looks nice and the price is right, but this is the one I am going to look 
at when I get to Defender:
http://www.defender.com/product.jsp?path=-1%7C344%7C2028704%7C2028919=2418297
It can be tilted anywhere (as opposed to 20 or 40° on the Navpod) and 360 
swivel so I think that sitting or standing, rail or helm, one should be able to 
adjust it for a clear view.  Dave

Hi Dennis- My GPS is already on a platform which is why I am looking for a 
swivel base.  What kind of swivel base is that?  Does it tilt as well as 
swivel?  Dave

Re: Stus-List Swivel pod for Chartplotter

[Marek Dziedzic (hotmail) via CnC-List]

If you really need one-handed adjustment, you can put a bit less friction on 
the balls (I know that it does not read that well) – it is adjustable on the 
arm - and you could move the device around. On the other hand, you should never 
be that busy on the boat that you could not spare a moment to adjust the 
display (;-). I use much shorter arm (3”? 4”?), so it is easier to do.

+1 on the Ram Mount, i bought the midsized balls and the 9 (I think) inch arm. 
Its not one handed to move and it stays pretty much where you set it. The size 
of your plotter affects the size of the mount, I have an a95 Raymarine. Its 
heavy on the end of the mount, so go big.

Another option is to build a shelf:

Hi David, 
Nice swivel pod. 
Just had a thought. You may want to develope a habit of turning the pod so the 
screen has to go to port, whenever changing aim from front to back or back to 
front. That way, the wires won't get twisted.

Re: Stus-List Swivel pod for Chartplotter

[Marek Dziedzic via CnC-List]

I guess I am much cheaper than that (;-). I am using a Ram Mount for my
Garmin chartplotter. The chartplotter comes in its own "pod" with a base, so
I installed a RAM Mount swivel ball and a rail base and connected the two
with a double socket arm (they come in various length). The total cost was
around $50. The rail mount is mounted on the pedestal guard. This allows me
to see it on either side and also adjust to be used from in front of the
wheel.
