I have been contemplating purchasing a 899ci hd si combo.  I want to have a swivel mount that will give me lots of freedom of movement and allow it to face the front and rear of the boat.  After I quick google shopping search I wasn't able to locate a mount as quickly as I thought.  Anyone know where to get the best deal on a mount?  I wont get it unless I can mount it how I want to and the price of the mount matters as I am on a budget.  the best price on the unit I found is at http://www.thedigitaloasis.com/Humminbird-899ci-Hd-Si-Combo-Side-Imaging-Tm-Transducer_p_29059.html#.U8SE-15OXIV.  Per the description it doesn't appear I will come with any type of mount much less the one I want.  thanks in advance

Look up ram mounts. You'll want the 2.25"  for an 899. There are a couple different styles

Ram Mount is what you want. No they aren't super cheap but they will provide the flexibility that you want. 

X4 on the RAM.  The only problem I see is the cable bundle for a H'bird with GPS and Side Scan is fairly thick which makes turning the head unit 180 degrees sort of awkward.  Besides, do you really want to have to turn around while you're fishing to look at the screen?  If you ever fish a dropshot or jigging spoon, that just won't work very well, IMO.
