Lowrance 7 1.5" Ball mount

thingiverse

Here is a 'ball style' mount for the Lowrance 7 series of sounders. It's perfect for the Lowrance 7" Gimbal Bracket (part number 000-11019-001), which fits perfectly with these displays: the Lowrance HDS Carbon 7, the HDS-7 Gen 3, the HDS-7 Gen2 Touch, the Elite-7 CHIRP/HDI, the HOOK-7, and the HOOK2-7. Printed using four perimeters and seventy percent 'Grid' style infill, the aluminium rod is securely fastened into place after applying some adhesive to the inner hole of the mount (check out the photos for an example). This gives it "peace of mind" reinforcement as it's a load-bearing part, making it basically impossible to snap the ball shaft section. To assemble this part, you'll need these hardware requirements: four M6 x 20mm stainless steel 'button' or 'Cap' screws, four M6 stainless steel Locknuts (10mm x 6mm), and one 45mm x 6.3mm aluminium rod (or any relevant-sized bolt/screw section). This part is designed to work with a 1.5" Ball mount system. Check out my other project on Thingiverse for a printable 1.5" Ball mount system, then substitute the Garmin mount for this Lowrance mount prior to printing.
