RAM MOUNT SUCTION CUP BASE

[REEFHOG]

I just bought a suction cup base ram mount to hold a handheld gps unit. Plan on placing it on the windshield of my boat. Has anyone tried this kind of base before and have they had it come loose. Trying to avoid drilling holes.

Have used one on my old boat. Most of the time it was ok but would come loose after a while or in rough waters. I recomend the perm mount but if its in a spot where when it gets loose it wont fall out of the boat you should be ok most of the time.

I agree with the above post. If it did come loose, I'd worry about getting the unit scratched up, or worse.

The nice thing about the RAM mounts, is that they can be adjusted in many positions. I can see it if I'm driving, a passanger, or if I'm standing in the boat while driving. Position yours where you can adjust it so you can see it from any position.

Next season I'm going to put another RAM base in the bow, and one in my truck so I can move my unit back and forth.

P.S. I don't have anything to do with RAM, but I love the product.

Thanks for the advice. I like the ram mounts alot, wish I had put my depth finders on ram mounts instead of the johnny ray mounts. My plan is to put permanant mounts on the drivers side and up front by the trolling motor. Need some time to figure the best permant site for them.
