    9". Kinda thought it being in the title was enough

    It only weighs around 6#, so the 1-1/2” ball should be fine. You can always go to the RAM website and gauge off of an Elite or Helix 9 to compare.

    I have had rams in the past and never could get them to stay in place other then the arm on they have.

    RAM recommends a D size mount, a step up I believe from the 1.5". I'm going to modify my old one (1.5") to give it a try and go from there. Thanks for the heads up.

    My RAM mount has been ok, only minor issues. Going to modify it and see if it holds. I've noticed the one popping up on here, I'll look at the small kong. Thanks for the info. Just want to mock it up and see if it works this weekend.

    The one popping up around here is.

    PRECISION SONAR'S LOCKJAW

    We're finally ready to release our universal mount.The LockJaw is made from the same 6061 aircraft aluminum our console and bow mounts are made out of.The LockJaw uses external and internal teeth and gives you 210,000 unique locking positions!!
    Due to the weight and the size of most units on the market now, we felt our customers needed a universal mount strong enough to support their larger graphs.

    I drilled 4 holes in the bracket for the Element to fit my old mount. My previous was a HB 858di. The Element size wise isn't very much larger, but the screen is a major improvement on size. The weight is comparable so I think it will do fine. Thanks for the input.

    I agree. It’s not until you get to 12” and above that weight really becomes a concern.
