Hi Montana and welcome back buddy :D
Regarding GPS, are you talking fish finder/plotter etc and if so what sort of sized unit are you mounting :?:
:cheers

An easy way to fit the transducer is using one of these.

I used 2 bits of plastic Bargeboard to mount the fishfinder and secure it to the seat.

Both easy to fit and remove.

I don't use that bracket yet, but will be next time out. ;-) As for the battery it's in a plastic box under the fishfinder, you can just see it in the picture.

Further to the Transducer bracket, mine arrived yesterday, it's quite a solid bit of kit. The only problem is the lip and the anti splash on the F-rib Transom, I had to use a block of wood to get the G clamp to hold.

Here's a better picture of the battery box.
