mm20 Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 Any alternatives to the RAM mount universal D for a 9" screen. I can't believe a mount is $130! Quote

Super User gulfcaptain Posted March 14, 2023 Super User Posted March 14, 2023 Still don't know where you're putting it. I put all my echomaps on a solid mount as so I don't have to do anything but disconnect the face plate of the unit. 1 Quote
SuperDuty Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 I am using the $40 scotty mount for my new 93Sv and haven't had any issues running with it. https://www.amazon.com/Scotty-163-Finder-Universal-Mounting/dp/B07SS96C7M/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2FRDAJYZ5WX79&keywords=scotty+ball+mount+fish+finder&qid=1678897526&sprefix=scotty+ball%2Caps%2C103&sr=8-3 Quote

Super User WIGuide Posted March 15, 2023 Super User Posted March 15, 2023 A lot of mounts go for well above $130! 1 Quote

@reelChris Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 Whatever you do, don't give in to the temptation of a smaller mount than D size. Rough water will bounce the screen around no matter how much you tighten it down. Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted March 27, 2023 Super User Posted March 27, 2023 I had my old HDS Gen3 9 on a C sized ram mount. As long as your boat isn't too rough of ride it would be just fine. Personally having ram mounts for the past 10 years or so, they were decent, but going forward I think I'll be looking at something a little more solid. Quote
