I have a 60 inch shaft on my 70 PD. When on the water or pulling the boat the head bounces up and down quite a bit. Can This do any damage and also should I invest the 50 bones for a RAM mount for it?

I rode 13 miles across Namakan into a 20-30mph wind last summer. Had to replace the main board...around $150. I will always have a Ram from now on. Heard many stories of the compass board also breaking loose when bouncing too much.
