THE QUICK TAKE
Is it right for you?
Choose it for a compact, fixed mounting position where the screen only needs angle adjustment. The short arm keeps the display closer to its base than the medium-arm track assembly.
Choose another mount if you need long sideways reach or a no-drill base. This kit’s round base needs suitable fasteners and backing, and the screen bracket still has to match the upper plate.
01 / BUYING NOTES
Before you buy.
Start with the screen bracket.
The rectangular plate offers several mounting-hole patterns. Compare the display’s bracket before drilling or ordering extra hardware.
Support the round base.
Bolt the lower flange to a firm, supported surface. Select fastener length and backing for the boat rather than assuming the deck skin alone is sufficient.
Leave the cables room to bend.
Both ends of the arm adjust. Check cable slack at the final viewing angle, especially where leads leave the back of the display.
02 / AMAZON REVIEWS
The buyers’ view.
Owners describe useful angle adjustment where a sloped dash or curved mounting surface complicated screen placement. Bracket-hole fit varied: one Lowrance installation lined up directly, while Helix and Raymarine owners needed to drill the plate. Several buyers describe steady support in their installations, though one who praised its hold also reported missing finish on the lower ball’s neck.

RAM combines its short C-size socket arm with a round lower base and rectangular marine plate. The shorter assembly provides adjustment without the extra reach of a swing arm.
The selected RAM-111U-B is the short-arm complete mount, not the medium-arm RAM-111U or the plate-only RAM-111BU.
