Mainsail Chart Plotter Mount for Edson Pedestals

[JSM]

In the process of installing a chart plotter and would like to go with the pedestal guard mount that Mainsail was selling on his Marinehowto.com site.
Looks like he is no longer selling them so I'll have to make one. Has anyone bought one that can share the measurements ?

I used one of these for a couple of seasons before replacing with a mount I made from a piece of IPE I had lying around. Don't have any measurements , I would need to go to the marina to measure.

One solution is just to mock up whatever box you desire, then have it copied in acrylic by a local plastics shop. Not expensive. The easy attachment to rails is this mount from WM.

Nice. I hadn't thought of using wood. On the hunt for a piece of teak !

Had considered that after seeing your post in the past. My aim is to have less at the helm. My wheel pilot control head is already in the combing at the right of the helm.
