Ben I run a Bell Merlin and am pleased as punch with it. I would like to paddle a prism just for kicks, they look to be a good ride.

What is your gunnel material? I opted for metal because it is easier to machine. If so you might consider a Ram mount bolted right to your gunnel. I have two side mounts for a rod holder bolted right onto my gunnels.

All this talk has caused me to re-evaluate how to mount the GPS and depth finder. Using the Ram mount underneath instead of on top the thwart seems like the obvious way to go, all things considered. The mount itself not as heavy as I remembered. The mount and garmin 60csx goes about 1 lb. I really like the adjustability that the Ram mount is able to achieve. Maybe that could be a solution for you. They have them in just about every configuration to hold almost anything.
