Review on RAM D 111U C RAM Universal Marine Electronic by Jim Fuhrer

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It's good but could be better

Contains ZERO useful hardware. You would think there would be a set of wood and a set of mounting screws for the base (counter headed because the base), stainless steel fasteners and maybe SOMETHING to put in the mounting holes? I mean it looks like a solid product. We'll see it in the Arizona heat and sun in a while, but for the price, finesse, packaging, and included gear, it falls short, to say the least. Besides, it was just a bunch of stuff in a bag. Maybe it's the bulk/wholesale/cheap version? The last and biggest issue for me is that the holes don't line up. I am either drilling new holes in the base or new holes in the mount for my Garmin 106SV. Other Feedback: I want to adjust and fix one ball and then the other independently. Holding the thing where I want it and tightening it is too much for a big chartplotter. I'm sure there are better options than this. Imo hardly worth the price. If I had another mill and lathe, I could do better.

Pros
