If you end up getting one I have a ram ball quick release mount you can have

socal.beach.bum · 04-30-2014, 08:05 AM

That would be awesome. I was looking to buy a new ram mount.

Buy new and you get the warranty with it.
Used .....roll the dice and no warranty.
Just two benjamins and worth it. I have this unit and it works great!

Two Benjamins for the Elite 4 HDI? Really, where? I can't find it for anything less than $275.

Saw that one but it's not the HDI model

kaya_one · 04-30-2014, 07:44 PM

I think the HDI is a new release so you may have difficulty getting it used or on ebay.
I would agree buying new. All the "advanced search" on this BWE forum I've done when shopping for my Elite 4, gps, gold navionics pointed me to go new AND buy the warranty.
One of the crusty old guys said to get the warranty because with all of the launch and landings we kayakers do it WILL fail.
just my .02.

I think you might be right. Ordering a new one tonight.

socal.beach.bum · 05-19-2014, 01:12 PM

So here we go again!

Destroyed my FF this weekend (long story). So now I need to look for another one, yet again.

I think I going to get one of those.

momo fish · 05-19-2014, 06:26 PM

I would never launch or land with ff on. Not worth the risk.

socal.beach.bum · 05-19-2014, 06:29 PM

Wasn't mounted on. Just forgot to secure it in the hold...had a brain fart and left it in the milk crate. Oh well lesson learned.
