I don't have one, but I know a lot of boaters utilize both a dash mount and also a hand held just in case one or the other fails.
I did have one on my 17' center console for navigating the back side holes via boat at night, fog, and otherwise. Got into some real hairy situations even with the unit working properly.
Like Numbskull stated, when someone entrusts you with their safety you don't want it to end badly. I used to take many unnecessary risks at the expense of catching a few more bass. I put friends, loved ones, and myself in danger countless times simply due to my own recklessness and need to catch fish at any cost.
In fact, I probably took elevated risk every time my boat went into the water simply due to the fact I was either running out of Nauset inlet or launching directly off the beach. Problem was most people did it by day while I was doing it almost strictly at night....
