The mount that came with the Dragonfly depth finder / chart plotter was too large to fit anywhere on the SX230 dash so I decided to use Ram Mount equipment to make my own. I used B sized (1" ball) mounts with one flex adhesive base, one aluminum ball mount and one double socket arm. The cost from Amazon was $35. If the adhesive ball does not hold well I will replace it with a screw mounted version.
This is the final product.

And the full dash area.
This is the ram ball mounted to the dash, I had to use a right angle drill to drill the holes then a socket set with a screw driver bit to install the screws.
This is the adhesive flexible ball mount on the back of the Dragonfly. I removed the letters Raym from the unit for better adhesion.
And this is a side view of the unit mounted.
So far it seems to be a sturdy mount. I hope to find some big waves to test it out soon.
