Default Good Garmin 396 Mount - Cessna..

Don't know if this is comparable or not. I have a 296 and fly a rented
Cessna 152 or 172. I have a beanbag bracket which just sits on top of the
dash and holds it. It's very secure, has never fallen off, and I can use it
on what ever I'm flying.

All,

My flying club has a 98 Cessna 182. Unfortunately, the yoke mounted
chart clip is in the way of the standard Garmin 396 mounting bracket.
This chart clip is not removable easily enough that I'd want to remove
and re-mount it everytime I fly (it's a shared aircraft... If it were
mine, I'd just permanently remove the thing.)

I am considering the purchase of a RAM mount "RAM-B-121-GA7". Does
anyone have any experience with this thing on Cessna Yokes? Can I
come _under_ the yoke with the bracket? Do I need to order any
accessories to make it work, or will that part # include everything I
need?

This might work good on the Comanche yoke also, since I have to have
the GPS slightly tilted due to the full crossmember at the top of the
yoke, and AP disconnect/PTT "plate"...

Unfortunately, my local shop does not have the RAM part in stock, and
it's a little difficult to know for sure what to order on something
like this if you can't lay eyes on it.

Any advice is welcome.

Thanks,
Dan
