RAM Mounts RAM-B-111BU Marine Ball Mount
The RAM-B-111BU Marine Ball Mount earns best-in-class status for adjustable swivel bases because its proven ball-and-socket architecture delivers the widest range of motion and vibration isolation for fishing electronics power supplies, while marine-grade coatings resist corrosion. Compared with the simpler Scotty side/deck option and the integrated Navpod panels, the RAM approach is more modular and cost-effective over time since the same ball components can be reconfigured for different instruments and power housings without buying new enclosures.

RAM Mounts RAM-109VU Vertical Surface Mount
The RAM-109VU Vertical Surface Mount is the go-to vertical-mount companion in this lineup because it provides a compact, heavy-duty foundation for swivel extensions where console or bulkhead mounting is required, enabling neat power-supply placement with minimal footprint. Compared to the marine ball mount, this vertical base is often the lower-cost, more secure solution for fixed vertical surfaces and pairs well with ball adapters when broader articulation is later needed.
