Im almost done doing the restoration work on my Windrose 18 sailboat

and am doing the fiddly bits now. Im needing to mount a fishfinder,
gps, cell phone etc etc and other small equipment and need some ideas.

I would like to mount everything on an articulated arm inside the
cabin that would swing out through the hatch and be visible/usable
from the cockpit, and when the day is done..be swung back into the
cabin and secured inside the cabin...out of sight and out of mind.

I dont care which side it would go on..it just needs to stick through
the hatch and simply show the face of the equipment to those in the
cockpit

Sounds like a good idea until you are running from a rough sea and arms are
flying every which way.

How about RAM mounts and longish cables.
