Ram Mount Screw Size

[BluePlater]

I just picked up a big 3" ball and was wondering what screw size I neeed to mount it to the dash of my fiberglass boat. Any helpful tips or tricks that I should know. Thanks

I would use counter sunk stainless steel bolts, not screws.....and double nut them with Teflon nut as the second nuts. This adds security, and stainless bolts and nust will be rust resistant and easily removable as needed sown the line.

As for length (1.54 to 2" is common), dash's vary and it may be best first to dry-fit the RAM Mount and then select the best length to the application. Large flat washers will also add support on the bottom side, and well recommended to use.

Same as Ed for me. Works well with no issues coming loose.
