Location: MN | I have a CT360. My boat is a tiller with casting deck in the back that I fish out of. I use the rail mounts and have one installed on both sides in the back.
1) when casting I have a strong preference for casting side. I have the mount more or less at my feet. It is sort of in the way and takes some consideration for figure 8s, but that is outweighed by the ease of pointing it directly where you are casting. In my experience, running it on the other side shooting across the boat makes it harder to stay in the beam and make any pointing adjustments mid cast.
2) Yes, this doesn't really create a problem. If I point right in the beam of the SI, sometimes I can see a small amount of interference, but it doesn't really create a problem - it's more like just a small amount of noise on the screen that you can ignore or look through. Regarding the engine blocking beam, I haven't really noticed any effect, but I haven't really checked that specific angle either.
3) I have rail mount. I stow it horizontally when boating and take it off when trailering. The stowing or taking off is very straightforward. | |
