Made a big investment in a new chartplotter or fishfinder? We recommend a metal mount with marine grade coating to prevent rusting. RAM has a great line for supporting heavy devices up to 15 pounds. All mounts come with a lifetime warranty from RAM. These mounts have pre-drilled holes to fit a variety of gimbal and swivel brackets from mainstream manufacturers like Garmin, Lowrance and Raymarine. Simply line up your bracket with the proper hole pattern and add some screws and nuts to fasten the bracket to the mount. Most have full tilt and swivel.

Marine Electronics Mounting Accessories for Lowrance, Garmin, Humminbird
Have a Fishfinder, Chartplotter or GPS and the stock mounting bracket isn’t cutting it? Common problem.
Most marine electronics are larger than your typical GPS unit and coupled with the unique requirements of using your device on a boat, a need for something larger and more flexible than a flush mount might be required. You want that mount to be rugged and resistant to the elements. Many aftermarket mounts couple with your current bracket to add a more secure grasp to your device while allowing it to be moved to a more convenient location, opften closer to the user or even out of the way when not in use.
Most marine mounts are bolted to the surface. We are often asked about using a suction cup on a boat. If out in the elements especially in salt water, we steer our customers away from this idea as salt water can quickly erode the integrity of a suction cup. You want a mount that is made of a non corrosive materials like marine grade metal.
We present some good options to consider below.
