RAM mount for plotter

Santa just delivered my Navman 5100i w/ a fuel kit. It doesn't fit particularly well anywhere that I would mount it. Has anybody used or seen in use a RAM mount and did it work well. My other option is to fabricate some type of Aluminum mounting tab. Thanks in advance.

Check Fugazi's pics in the gallery. He used a RAM Mount for one of his electronics.

I got the ram mounts for my fishfinder and GPS. they work real well. once locked they don't shift underway or vibrate loose. real sturdy and made well.

Thanks guys. I went to Boaters World last night and they don't carry them. I was hoping to install this today. So....i'll either put it on the dash and block my non working trim gage or, Use 2 45* bow rail stanchions back to back with a 6" piece of bow rail to make myself a mount. Thanks.

I used a ram mount on a LCX15mt sounder and it worked great. I liked how I could rotate the souner around and see it from the front of the boat (freshwater striper fishing).

Hey Airslot...where do you live...if there's a boaters world that close you gotta live close to a dealer that sells rams

Look around a little bit

Sitiuation taken care of. Got two 60* stanchions, a piece of 7/8" stainless rail 6" long, and a piece of starboard. Made my own mount.

ps Live south of Salisbury MD, and nobody has any RAM mounts that I could find.

PICTURES?

Airslot, when are you going to be able to try out your new toy? Are you done for the winter,yet?

Airslot · #9 12-19-2003, 10:51 AM

Not done for the year yet. I'll probably finish cleaning up the installation Sunday. Hope to fish for Rock, aka stripers, aka bass, on either Monday or Tuesday. I live reasonably close to the CBBT. Can't wait to get back out. I generally get to use the boat 12 months. Sometimes February is a little shaky.

Cool deal. On Tuesday, I dumped a bottle of stabil and topped off 50 gallons and took my baby out for a spin to burn up the untreated gas in the lines and filters.
Time to punt for better field position.
