To go around the 1.25" schedule 40 that you mounted to a ram mount? I went to Lowes & of course they never had it. Either way to big or way to small.

I can tell you a better option than a bolt if you have a ram mount already.. its called the ram mount claw. There is also a sleeve mount meant to go over a round rail. Both would be a better option than a u- bolt since they don't apply any direct pressure to the inner pivot pipe. However I went to lowes before I knew about those items and purchased u-bolts that were a little wider than the od of the pvc pipe and long enough that it allowed me to bolt to the base mount. I had to grind notches in the base mount slightly since the bolts were not wide enough to go around it. Below is what I came up with. The screen shot is the rail mount I'm referring to.Attachment 421133Attachment 421134

Mine on the kayak I used the hose clamp and while it works I sort of wish I would have used the clamp shown above.

Here is what I used. Had to ream it out a bit with my dremel. Works flawlessly.

A Scotty mount is what I have.Quote:

I went to another Lowes & they had exactly what i needed so i'm good. :ThumbsUp
If you call a plumbing or pipe supply house they will have pipe size U-Bolts that match the outside diameter of pipe. Order by the nominal pipe size.
