Trying to figure out how and where to mount GPS at helm without it being in way and getting wacked around.

Different model boat here, but our boat has a standard helm guard that becomes quite useful for mounting an assortment of gadgets. Our mounting solution has been quite handy for our chart plotter and related stuff as shown here: Hunter 42 Owner Modifications and Upgrades

My 33.5 has an Edson arm that the gps mounts to. I went with a 5"plotter although I could have went with a 6" unit. The boat came with an old Garmin 400 series plotter and the new garmin 5" was pretty close to the same footprint and I just felt that anything bigger would be cumbersome . The 5" has been discontinued by but you can still find them in stock at a few places online.

Please show a photo of your cockpit and helm as there might be different helm configurations for mounting a gps/chartplotter.

Suggest mounting a narrow acrylic board cut from a plastics supplier just ahead of the compass to mount the gps/chartplotter. That location would allow wires to feed it from the cavity below the compass with weather tight fittings.

Custom bracket to mount on top of the stainless tubular pyramid in front of your wheel that allows for a rotating gps mount.

I have the H336 with the mid-mounted traveler and not the helm mounted one. I have a 10.1" GPSMap mounted on top of the console. its not fitted in this pic as the boat is on the hard and getting ready for winter

This is how I did mine. Works great but you will want to stick to 7 inch sizes. 9 might be too big for this type of mount.

It's a PYI mount.

Imp, I mounted my Garmin 942 where the compass is and I like it! It swivels so that anyone in the cockpit can view it. I can post a picture if you have an interest.
