Yeah I'd go off the sail mast somehow. You can do a Ram wedge mount for the head unit, and I bet you could even make a bracket off of that to mount the antenna directly above or to the side of the head unit.

Actually I was referring to Lowrance specifically. It sounds like you got one of their closeouts, i.e., prior to making them all with internal antennas. Ram Mount the unit with the antenna right behind it. nice thing about Ram Mounts is that they are easily removable; thus you can stow it.
