RAM Mounts RAM-111U-B Marine Electronic Mount - Stable, Adjustable Fit

Our review of the RAM Mounts RAM-111U-B finds it to be a straightforward, purpose-built mounting solution for anglers and boaters who need a durable, stable platform for chartplotters and fishfinders. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of a complete flat drill-down base and RAM ball-and-socket adjustability, which together deliver firm mounting and near-infinite positioning for small to mid-size marine electronics. Built from power-coated, marine-grade aluminum and backed by a lifetime warranty, it addresses the common needs of those running Garmin, Lowrance, Humminbird or Raymarine displays.

Key Features

• Flat drill-down base: Provides a secure, low-profile mounting surface that resists shifting on decks and consoles when installed.
• RAM ball-and-socket technology: Lets users fine-tune viewing angle and orientation with near-infinite adjustability while maintaining a solid hold once tightened.
• Short overall height: At about 5.225 in total height the mount keeps displays low and unobtrusive on crowded consoles.
• Marine-grade aluminum construction: Power-coated metal offers corrosion resistance and long-term reliability in demanding saltwater environments.
• Wide compatibility: Fits a range of GPS, chartplotter and fishfinder models from major brands, reducing the need for brand-specific adapters.
• Lifetime warranty: Backed by the manufacturer's warranty for long-term peace of mind on the water.

Who It's For

This mount is ideal for anglers, recreational boaters and small-craft captains who use portable or dash-mounted electronics such as Garmin ECHOMAP and GPSMAP units, Lowrance HDS Carbon or HDS LIVE 7 displays, and many Humminbird and Raymarine fishfinders. It particularly suits users who value adjustability and a low-profile install with a drill-down base.

Those with very large multifunction displays or users who prefer clamp-style, temporary mounts should look elsewhere; the RAM-111U-B is intended as a permanent, compact mounting solution for small to mid-size marine electronics rather than a universal arm for oversized units.
