Solix 10 install on Ram Mount Question

I received Ram Mount today for Solix ... It appears that the 2 x 5 base with the 2" ball could be attached to the unit in two different ways...

It could be attached to the gimbal mount.
OR
It it looks like you could attached it directly to the back of the head unit????

I hadn't really thought about it till I got to looking at it. I'm thinking mounting to the Gimbal mount is the intended manner... but having never done this before...I thought I would ask?

Thoughts????


RAM(R) Ball Base with 1.5" x 4.5" 4-Hole Pattern

that is the link to the part I am refering to ...

Thanks in advance

I store my boat outside and my graphs inside so I would never mount grpah directly to the ram mount. Now you could unscrew the ram mount completely and remove the ball but that is a bit more work based on the ram mounts I have used.
