Ram mount

[BuckeyeCrappie]

My Excel has a regular D sized ram mount with a 10 inch Helix on it and it stays solid.

I dont know how easy Garmins are to remove for the road trip. I have a HB 9" graph that rides in the truck seat beside me and is stored in the house between trips. It's mounted on a 2" ball ram mount and doesnt move a bit when I tighten it down where I want it to be.

On second thought....mine could be a 2 & 1/4" ball. Size D.

Garmins are very easy to remove. At least the newer ones. They have a cradle and the just pop in and out. Wiring stays connected to the cradle. My graphs NEVER travel down the road on the boat.

When I am traveling long distances I take my graphs off. I am planning on ordering some locks for my graphs though but will still take em off for the highway

I have a 12 inch Lowrance unit mounted with one,but it’s bolted to fiberglass.
I’ve been using them for a long time and the only problem that I have had with them is the ball will crack.They always replace them under warranty

I have a Lowrance Elite 7 unit mounted right on the floor of my boat for a map unit while fishing. I wish it was 6 inches or so higher. I really didn't want to spend the money for a Ram mount just for this. While in WalMart yesterday, I saw their version of a Ram mount for only 19.99! Granted it's not made of aluminum, but it looked like it tightened up well. I wouldn't trust it for a bigger unit, especially on the console, but for this little unit in the floor I think I'll try one. Pics to come later.

Yep i'd like to see a pic of that mount. I'm always messing around & need some type mount at times.

I'm using a short arm ram mount for 2 Garmin 10” units. So far, so good. I’m not running a 70 mph glass boat but it hasn’t Been a problem.
