I am taking a sea kayaking trip to the Gulf Islands National Seashore
(o.r.c-k posters don't flame me...this is a gear question) and I am
trying too determine the best way to attach my Garmin GPS V to the deck
of my fiberglass kayak.

I usually canoe so this hasn't been an issue for me before.

I have a RAM Mount with a short arm and a 4" suction mount but the whole
assembly is rather cumbersome to have mounted right in front of me.

Would I be better off using deck bag or vinyl sport pouch on the deck?
Bear in mind that the GPS V is water restistant to 1 m and won't be
harmed by salt water spray.

Any advice to offer? I'd appreciate it.

Does it need to be attached to the deck, or could you strap it to your
arm or something? That might simply entry and exit as well.

I would still consider a waterproof housing, as the water pressure
from splashing might exceed the pressure at 1 meter submersion.

Happy trails,
