Default Cisco electronics mounts

How good are these Cisco mounts compared to the large ram mounts for hds 10? Will they move in 5 ft waves pounding?

And which tracks are best for gunals to mount on the side?
Lookig at 18 and 48 inch on each side to mount?

I went from 1-1/2 ball which I know now that was too small for both of my 898. I use Cisco now and I can tell you that they are rock solid. I have them both mounted on a 6" track. What are you using the track on the gunnel for? If for rod holders I would guess the 18" would be fine. You can also get the insert to go in them for an extra step pad.

I put on my track with reinforced aluminum back plate also.

I now use the Cisco mount after years of using the Ram products and couldn't be happier. The Cisco is rock solid! I would also consider their rod holder products, no complaints with them from me either.

i went from a RAM to a Cisco mount last year (i think it may have actually been the first one they made). No comparison at all, the cisco is far and away better.

I went to a flush mount on my new boat, but am keeping the cisco mount because its such a great product and i know i'll be able to find another application for it.

I will 2x what K GONEFISHIN shared, I took his recommendation last month and replaced my prior RAM Mount for my HDS10 with a CISCO Mount. Kevin, Thanks for sharing the photos of your Cisco mounts !!

I have been extremely happy with the CISCO mount. Rock solid, beautiful finish, extremely high quality machined parts, very easy to take on and off, metal parts will last a life time , extremely strong, great adjustability features, and "Made in the USA". I give the CISCO mount a 5 star rating !! This is one instance where you get what you pay for !

I got Cisco electronics mounts in the mail a few days ago and can't wait to get them mounted. Definitely built well and has a nice touch with "Made In USA" on them. Great customer service to boot!

No problem, I have their rod holder tubes and cradles and added a electronics mount this year because I was sick of the ram "trying" to hold up an 8 inch lowrance. Cisco's products are by far the best on the market period. They cost a little more but money well spent, why guys spend 30-70K on a boat and put cheap plastic junk on their boat is beyond me, buy it once and have it a lifetime and do it in style your rig and your sanity will thank you one less thing you have to worry about failing, falling off, breaking, wearing out or replacing.

Is it easy to detach the units on the Cisco mounts. Need to detach mine for storage and of course anti-theft precautions you know.
