Steve,
     Thanks - I am looking for something to add on to my existing 
binnacle guard to make it taller. I have my radar, gps and wind 
instrument mounted on the existing binnacle guard. Pulling out the old 
binnacle guard means tearing out a lot of wiing.  Joe


> Joe, the two defender links show single mount pods and then additional options on taller binnacle guards,  Edson also has nice single  pod mounts for lower on the guard if you have room.   Edson also has taller binnacle guards, but I believe Edson tends to be more expensive.
>
> I mounted my chart plotter above the compass and added a taller angled guard so that there is still room to grab the guard without grabbing the instrument, it is angled slightly forward for visibility of the screen, you can see it pretty good at our blog in the video from oregon offshore this year.  Hope this helps.
