    That is bad ass! Are those cutting boards? Is this manually actuated or is there an actuator under there??

    It's manual, and yes that is an old cutting board. just 2 thumb screws and move it to the other side of the boat. I may have screwed up when i ordered the plastic ball mounts. Guess i'll find out this weekend.

    Yeah, I see a Ram Mount failure in your future...

    But Hey, it's not like you've got a TON invested. I've been reading all the threads and watching the developments. But as I have a fiberglass swim platform it'll probably be best for me to wait it out and see what develops before I press on...

    (although if I did go the ram mount option, I could always use a mount that clamped on the railing of my swim platform...)

    the other option you have is to use an aluminum spacer that is drilled and tapped to attach to the swim platform brackets. this is what i will probably do for my buddies moomba assuming mine works

    2500HD -- Are you getting these ideas from another board or did you engineer this one yourself? I'd like to build a similar setup (I'd just build 2 and put one on either side) but I'd like to read more about it and see some other photos if there is development happening anywhere.
