Any suggestions on a mount for my phone on my 2009 Yamaha SX210? I use it for navigation on the lake and playing music.
 
Try SeaSucker - good quality
 
I've used this in a semi tractor for the past 5 years, absolutely no issues other than when it's cold, having to make sure the window is heated up a bit - doesn't like to stick to a frozen windshield! Some may view it as pricey, but in the time I've used it, I'd easily pay double for it. If the middle arm is too long for your needs, it's easily swapped out with a shorter or longer one, and that little spiderweb looking thingy has never been needed for me. Universal fit, I've used it with a Moto X4, an Iphone 5s, and a Moto G6+

That’s the same one I use and it’s perfect. The RAM allows you to reposition it depending on your position (sitting/standing).

The only difference in my setup is I used a hard-mounted ball to the dash instead of the suction cup.

I highly recommend it.
 
Yup, Ram X mount. I gave up on the suction cup as it kept falling and just screwed it into the dash though.

Brilliant!!

I love the Hula-Girl :)
 
My wife bought me one called steely for Christmas last year. It’s just a small disc that goes on your phone and then a small ball that sticks to your dash and then the phone sticks to it magnetically. It’s handy because you can have a mount in the truck and boat and whatever else. I was worried it wouldn’t be strong enough but have never had it fall off anything yet.
 
Another +1 for the X-Grip Ram Mount. I keep one that goes between truck and boat. Wife has one in her car. Have a few other RAM accessories on the motorcycle for GoPro use. They're expensive because they're worth it. Had mine for just over 5yrs now.
 
I'm going to give this a try. Looks like a good option. Maybe I'll get a few more for my guests.

 
Here's the WeatherTech CupFone. I had to drill a hole for my aux cord. Nothing to write home about but it does the trick.

I'm not a fan of the x grip because it always pushes the buttons on the side of my phone.
