Shimano CI4 handle question

Not a huge fan of the new CI4 handle. Used to the paddle style sustain and stradic handles. Are the sustain handles compatible with the CI4?

How are you guys bow mounting Humminbird 900 series units?

What would be the best way to mount a 957 on the bow of a z series ranger. Would you mount directly to the floor, heavy duty ram, or smaller ram? also the humminbird book says to use wood screws and silicone, is this enough or would you thru bolt them?
