Anyone know of some good sources of inexpensive brackets that would be
adaptable to marine electronics gear (eqpt that there isn't a mfr to go to
for these items)?

Not very classy, but some of my frugal (not me) customers have used common
"Stanley" brand "L" brackets, packs of two, in a couple of sizes from any
hardware or general store.

Can't picture exactly what you are looking for, but I've made brackets out
of aluminum stock.
I've also made a rack (more like a big hook ) for my binoculars by
saturating some 3/16 braided line in epoxy and forming it to shape before
curing.
Again, not sure what you need, but West Marine carries the RAM swivel mounts
for electronics..

OK. Thanks for the thoughts, guys.

I think the L brackets are what I'll be going with. The only concern I have
about using them is the quick rust factor in salt environment. But, the
obvious thing to do there is simply replace 'em often. They're cheap.

Spray them first with CRC Cold Galvanizing Spray. It seems to be very
effective.

Make your brackets out of Aluminum - it rarely rusts :-)
