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

Any ideas how to construct an arm?
