Default Seeking advice to secure a GPS to a kayak deck

I also use AquaPac (www.aquapac.net) and carry my GPS attached to my PFD
or in a pocket that is on the front of my deck bag. I have had good
luck with AquaPac and also carry my VHF radio in one. The other plus is
the AquaPacs add flotation so if you drop your GPS or radio they will
not sink.

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.

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.


I put my GPS receiver inside a clear, waterproof AquaPac pouch and
just set it on the sprayskirt in front of me. The pouch comes with a
good lanyard and I attach this to the boat.
