Evening,
Thanks for the info and the ball pointer.
Actually I have a spare phone that I don't mind to loose if accidents might happen. I picked up a portable sonar for not much which works not perfectly but enough for my 'faffing around' or at least until I decide I want to stick more money in and I'm likely to see the usefulness of that money.
I'll keep thinking to find a way of doing what I want to try.
Before you spend money on a mount, take your phone outside on a very sunny day and see if you can read the screen well enough in direct sunlight for marine use. Unless your phone is extraordinary, it'll just be a hazy washout of colors. Chart Plotter screens are specifically designed for use in direct sunlight. Also, keep in mind that the TI is a very wet boat. Unless your phone is IP7 rated, it's going to get wetter than it should.
I can almost guarantee that after one season of trying to use a phone you'll go out and purchase a Chart Plotter. It's so worth it, I would never want to be without mine.
If you would still like to try, then go to
RAM Mount. They have the hardware to mount almost everything to almost anything.
