mast hole fishfinder mount?

I've seen fishfinders mounted into the PA mast hole, but cannot seem to find exactly what mount is used. I have a Humminbird PMax 170.

A further complication is that my Hobie dealer is a three-hour drive away, so I need to order online. That's why I need an exact model number for the mount, please.

You'll want the tube wedge mount. 72023016 for the 1" RAM ball and 72023015 for the 1.5". It goes in the hole, expands and will hold well.

To mount something in the mast receiver - you need the ram wedge mount 1" (part # 72023016)
Then you need the mount 72023007 (which also comes with a 1" space saver rail mount ball - so you'll have an extra ball left over)
Not sure that you'll like your screen that far away as a 170 only has a 4" screen, I think most people would recommend that you just mount it on the side rail closer to you so that it's easier to reach.

Thanks, both.

I'm vacillating about the distance versus wire routing to reach the side rails. There isn't much to do to a 170 after you turn it on, so there shouldn't be much need to change settings. Besides, I can see my toes just fine - but my arms are too short to read close up, LOL!

I mounted a unit there and like it. I used 3/4 inch pvc, shimmed to fit, and topped that with a 45 angle joint and additional pipe to put the unit closer to me. It's not in the way and I can easily reach it to access the menu and other features.
