Ok, slightly off topic, but this was mine (minus the girl)...1973 Skiroule 440 RT w/ Sachs engine. They were made by Coleman ( yup...the camping people). This was around the time when snowmobile companies were coming out with more of a racing sled. Anyone remember Rupps, Scorpions, Chaparrels, etc.? Ahhh...the good 'ol days. Sorry...just a quick trip down memory lane  :'(

I like that picture too its my desktop background right now.

Still "arranging" things like the GPS and mount.  Did not like the RAM mount (not strong/solid enough) so relocated the windshield to the front box/auger mount; making room on the handlebars for a homemade GPS mount.  Don't use the windshield or the front auger carrier in the summer months, so that worked out well.
Also want to do an Otter Medium Monster Box on the rear; but don't have room in the 10' trailer for it.  The machine, with tracks is 9' and, as is, there is not much vertical room either.  I need to go for a 12 or 14' long X 7' wide  X 5' high, enclosed trailer.
I like hoff's sled setup but I could not deal with everything being "exposed" like that.  I like my gear clean and dry when I get to and on the ice, with minimal fuss loading and unloading.

 I have my GPS on the handle bar and the vibration make it hard to read, got to reach up and steady it at times. Rethinking the setup and it's the little tweaks can be pretty time consuming getting things just right.
I have a 12' trailer, things are just squeezing in so far. The auger rack going up front will be even tighter.
As far as things exposed, I do want the auger, scoop, flasher, bait and two rods readily available when on the search/mobility?
Again awesome setup!

moved my GPS to the front rack off a ram mount, a lot less vibes there.

My ride is a snowmobile, auger rack will be out front soon but not practical for GPS location. There are plus and minus with both ATV/Snowmobile options?

I agree with those ideas.  I keep my auger out on the front rack and other "little" things in the box under the auger.  I use a handheld depth finder to verify depth and structure, then I get the flasher and a rod out of the rear box.  I don't uncover the flip over until I'm ready to settle in to some fish.  ;D

I'm not real familiar with sleds, it's been quite a few years since I've been on one, but on ATV's the handle bars have a lot of vibrations.  There's a lot of RAM mount options out there, if you could get it off the handle bars, I'm sure it'd be a lot easier to read.

Congrats Rat.  I know you've been wanting to make this switch for a while.  Hope everything is set properly
on the new sled (i.e. jets, oil pump, etc) and you don't have to go through what so many other Skidoo owners
did (including me  >:( )

I mounted a piece of custom cut 2X2X1/4" aluminum angle across the handlebars and have a rigid mount for the GPS.  No vibrations and no problem reading it.
IMO - it's the mount that adds enough vibration that reading the screen is tough.  I'm using a Lowrance BAJA 580C with the fishing hotspots maps and loaded with trails and waypoints (collected from the soft water and the boat) and a map program transferred to the GPS.

I just got a new handheld GPS, Magellan Explorist 510 with the premium Navionics. I also got the planner2 to review the maps on the PC and transfer the waypoints to the handheld. Maybe an additional support to the existant mount may reduce/eliminate the vibrations?
