    Hey Don. If your console is thin material put a piece of plywood behind it when you mount. The heavier units will wear out the hole over time and become loose.

    Default Was actually gonna get

    a thin 1 1/6 inch piece of sheet metal and put it on the back side for support. Didn't know that big RAM mount weighed 2 1/2 pounds or so

    Default Is there anything wrong with mounting it

    on the side wall of the boat? Bout center of the console but NOT to the console itself. On the actual side wall of the boat IF there is a way. If there is a problem, about where should I mount it?

    U B Aite with a backing plate. Don't use steel though, aluminum. Also, some rubber backing would help spread and cushion the load. Metal will have contact over much less area since it won't conform. Think about slicing up an innertube - that kind of material.

    Default Plywood

    3/4" plywood with big rubber washers. Both absorb shock and last forever.
