[cool]I'm not sure I know which site you are referring to. But, I share your concern for having anything strapped on that relies on having a full air chamber to keep it in place. I, like yourself, prefer to use D rings or velcro patches to anchor it against unwanted dunking.
I have rigged my sonar displays in a variety of ways, including some exotic wooden addons to my rod rack. I have also attached the mounting bracket to a thin piece of wood or plastic, to which I secured either lengths of nylon rope or adjustable straps. Right now, I use a double wraparound of yellow nylon cord, ehich I cinch up before topping off my air chambers so that it is very tight. Then I insure it with a piece of velcro over the top of the cords.
I tell ya, it really challenges our creativity sometimes to try to adapt gear to our floatation systems that was designed to be installed on a boat. Those danged screws really mess up your air chambers.
