Installed the Garmin on Friday using Ram mount and mounting from the windshield stanchion. Things went better than I thought and I am pretty happy about the visibility of the unit since its visible sitting, on the bolster, or standing. The folks at E-mounts are great to work with and their products are top notch
Below are some pics of the install:

Looks good. Does the 440 have a sounder option?

Yeah...The 400 series does have the sounder option but this time around I opted for the 440 versus the 440S. "S" denotes sounder and I believe "x" denotes weather but I think only the 430 does weather.
420 doesn't have any chart pre-loaded, 430 had lakes rivers charts and 440 has the coastal charts.

You did good Weave. Was it tough drilling the first hole in the shinney fiberglass?
Hats off to you sir for providing the great write-up on yours with part numbers etc...:smt038
At first the pilot hole was tough but after that hole was done it got easier. I just need something to finish the hole now to protect the wires
