Kayak Kickstand for GPS mount?

I want to install a GPS on the front of my rec boat’s cockpit, but I do not want to drill. I was at the store and saw the (overpriced-looking) Kayak Kickstand which would provide a perfect, shelf-like mounting surface. I have no interest in the Kayak Kickstand other than using it as a mounting shelf.



My question is, is there something else like the Kayak Kickstand that might serve as a better lower-priced GPS mounting shelf? Hate to spend $49 on something that I’m not even going to use as intended.



I have an Emotion Glide and a Garmin 276C that I’d like to install using RAM mounting hardware. I use the GPS primarily for geophotography, but would also enjoy using it as a navigational aid. I’m a flat-water day-paddler and do not use a spray skirt.



Thanks! :slight_smile:

If you want details,on how to make one let me know and I’ll describe it.
