GPS mount? - Polaris RZR Forum

Stevec · #1 (**permalink**) May 19th, 2008, 02:54 PM

Where I'll be, I'll need to have my Garmin GPS 76CSx mounted on the RZR. There's a thread here about the ram mounts.

Question I have is, on this one and adding the quick release mount: Ram Mounting Systems - Products

Question is, and I can't get a reply from ram, does the mount have access so that I can plug the 12V plug into the unit on the mount?

I "assume" so, but you know what that usually means.

Anyone know for sure?

Thanks

Nevermind - got an answer. Answer is "yes". On order from expressmounts.com

Thanks for the confirmation.

All the RAM mounts have access for all neccessary plugs.

Where at on the rzr are you putting that mount? My dad has the same GPS he said he will give me... I want to buy that ram mount too but was curious where you want to mount it?

well.... see... it's kinda like this... I'm not totally sure yet 'cause I don't have the RZR yet.

But I know I need it given the area I'm going to be riding in. Get lost in those woods and you're toast, plus I have the trails marked as tracks, except for the 40 miles of new trails.

But, I'm thinking with the flat bolt on mount and/or quick release and/or double sided tape mount I should be able to figure out a way to mount it to the top of the dash somehow.

If not, I'll figure out something. I can let you know in a couple of weeks when the RZR comes in (hopefully) if you'd like.

I'm going just above and to the right of my stero head unit.

This is the one I'm thinking about getting for my Garmin 60CS. I thought about the suction cup, but not sure it would be stable enough. I don't want it vibrating while moving because then you can't read it.

yeah, I mis-spoke. I got the one like that for my GPSMAP 76CSx with the quick disconnect mount.
I think I read correctly that they work together. I wanna be able to take the GPS out quick so it can go with me for it's protection.

I may have screwed up, but for 7 bucks I'm not gonna sweat it after what I paid for the RZR...

hmmm.... after looking at your pic, I may have gotten the wrong style of mount but maybe I can figure out a way to bolt it just to the left of the speedo, on top. Dunno, I'll have to see.

I tried using the RAM suction cup base on my Rzr's half-windshield--I think I made it a quarter mile before it came loose. Now I have the base that wraps around the roll cage, and have it mounted up near my rear view mirror.

To remove the GPS and cradle, all I have to do is loosen the "bar" between the base and cradle.

I have the 76 also. I mounted mine with the short extension to the top of the dash. When viewing it is to the top and side of the steering wheel when it is lowered a bit and sits behind the 1/2 windshield
