Mate, your sounder should come with it's own mount?
Those mounts on your link are for tablets, phones, net/laptops etc
The products are excellent, and the parts are interchangeable based on your needs/budget
Johnny Appleseed is an Aus stockist of these products and their service is also excellent

Thanks Goat Boy.

My Furuno 585 comes standard with a plastic frame that can be mounted to item like RAM mounts.

The mounts listed in that previous post are used for marine electronics.

Here is one example (The RAM-D-111U-C)

"The rectangle base contains different combinations of pre-drilled holes which will match up to many electronic devices and mounts, including Marine GPS, CB Radios, Ham Radios, Gimbal Brackets and more.

The RAM-D-111U-C is Compatible With:
Garmin Fishfinders and GPS Chartplotters
Humminbird Fishfinders and GPS Chartplotters
Lowrance Fishfinders and GPS Chartplotters
Raymarine Fishfinders and GPS Chartplotters "

I am after a RAM mount to mount my plastic frame attached to the F585.

I have a mate who swears by the Johhny Ray Mounts, he's been using them for years on his HDS10. I just bought one to mount my new HDS10, should hopefully have it installed next week.
