RAM Mounts Universal Double Ball Mount with Medium Arm - Durable

In this review of the RAM Mounts Universal Double Ball Mount with Two Round Plates RAM-B-101U, the bottom line is simple: this is a rugged drill-down mounting solution for boaters, anglers, and vehicle users who need reliable, adjustable support for GPS units and fish finders. The single biggest reason to buy is its proven ball and socket technology, which gives near-infinite adjustability and a secure hold once tightened. The kit arrives with two round plates and a medium B-size double socket arm so the buyer can pick the orientation that best fits their setup.

Key Features

• Drill-down mounting: Provides a stable, permanent attachment point when you need a secure base for electronics on decks or consoles.
• Two round plates: Includes dual round ball bases so the installer can choose which plate and position work best for devices and mounting locations.
• AMPS hole pattern: One round plate features the AMPS hole pattern to attach compatible device holders without modification.
• Medium double arm: The B-size medium length double socket arm gives a balance of reach and stiffness for mounting displays at useful viewing angles.
• Marine-grade aluminum: Powder-coated aluminum construction resists corrosion and stands up to demanding marine and outdoor environments.
• Lifetime warranty: Backed by a lifetime warranty, offering extra confidence in long-term durability and support.

Who It's For

This mount is ideal for anglers, boat owners, and vehicle operators who attach depth finders, GPS units, or small displays and want a dependable, adjustable solution. Customers who value a solid, metal mount that resists corrosion will appreciate the marine-grade materials and the secure hold the system provides.

Those who need a temporary suction or clamp mount, or require ultra-lightweight plastic fittings, should look elsewhere. If you need very long reach articulating arms for overhead positions, a different arm length may be a better match than the medium B arm included here.
