RAM Mount Kayak Mounts — Secure Your Gear and Focus on the Water

RAM Mount kayak mounts give paddlers a reliable, vibration-resistant way to attach fish finders, action cameras, rod holders, and other accessories directly to their kayak — so everything stays exactly where you put it, from flatwater lakes to moving rivers. Designed around RAM's proven ball-and-socket mounting system, these mounts combine rock-solid holding power with the flexibility to reposition gear on the fly. Whether you're rigging out a fishing kayak for a full day on the water or adding a GPS unit to a touring boat, this collection covers the hardware to get it done right.

Why Paddlers Trust RAM Mounts for Kayak Setups

  • Keep electronics at the perfect viewing angle — adjustable ball-and-socket arms let you dial in your fish finder or GPS without tools, even mid-paddle.
  • Mount cameras to capture every run — low-profile bases and articulating arms position action cameras where they won't interfere with your stroke.
  • Stable attachment on rough water — RAM's composite and aluminum construction absorbs vibration and resists the flex that loosens cheaper plastic mounts over time.
  • For anglers rigging a dedicated fishing kayak — compatible bases and track-mount adapters let you build a fully customized cockpit layout without drilling extra holes.
  • Swap accessories between boats — standardized ball sizes mean one mount arm can serve multiple devices across different kayaks in your quiver.

How to Choose the Right RAM Mount for Your Kayak

Start with your mounting surface. Many kayaks include built-in RAM track systems or pre-drilled screw holes; others require a suction-cup base or a deck plate adapter. Match the base style to what your hull offers before selecting an arm length.

Next, consider the weight and size of what you're mounting. RAM rates its components by device weight, and heavier electronics like larger chart plotters benefit from a double-socket arm for added rigidity, while lightweight cameras work fine on a single-arm setup. Finally, think about reach — a longer arm clears cockpit edges and paddle shafts, while a short arm keeps low-profile accessories close to the deck where wind resistance is minimal.

Choosing the right combination from the start means less fiddling on the water and more time focused on fishing, exploring, or photographing whatever the day brings.

Frequently Asked Questions about Ram Mount Store - Kayak Mounts

Kayak mounts are accessories designed to securely attach gear like fish finders, cameras, GPS units, and rod holders directly to a kayak's rail or surface. Kayak mounts keep essential equipment within reach and organized while paddling, freeing up deck space and improving overall on-water efficiency.

Kayak mounts are designed for anglers, recreational paddlers, and kayak tourers who want to keep electronics, cameras, or accessories securely positioned while on the water. Anyone who wants a cleaner, more organized kayak setup without gear sliding around will benefit from a quality mounting system.

Start by selecting a flat or rail-compatible surface on your kayak where the mount will be most accessible during paddling. Most kayak mounts attach using screws, bolts, or a track-slide system, so follow the manufacturer's instructions and ensure all hardware is tightened securely before heading out on the water.

No, kayak mounts are not universally compatible with every kayak model, since hull shapes, rail sizes, and deck layouts vary widely between manufacturers. Before purchasing, check whether the mount is designed for a specific track system or flat-surface installation to confirm it will fit your particular kayak.

Kayak mounts can hold a wide range of accessories including fish finders, action cameras, GPS devices, rod holders, and smartphone holders. The specific accessories a kayak mount supports depend on the mount's design, ball size, and weight capacity, so verify compatibility before buying.

Because kayak mounts provide a rigid, repositionable, and far more secure connection than adhesive or tape, which can fail when exposed to water, UV rays, and repeated vibration. Kayak mounts also allow you to adjust the angle and position of your accessories on the fly, something tape or adhesive simply cannot do.

Yes, kayak mounts are built to safely hold electronics on a kayak when installed correctly and used within the mount's rated load capacity. Using a properly rated kayak mount prevents expensive gear from shifting, falling overboard, or becoming a hazard during paddling.

Start by identifying what accessory you need to mount and what attachment points your kayak already has, such as a track rail or flat deck area. From there, match the kayak mount's base style to your kayak's surface and confirm the mount's arm length and ball size are compatible with your accessory's hardware.

Yes, many kayak mounts are designed to work on both sit-on-top and sit-inside kayaks, though the specific base type required may differ between the two hull styles. Always check whether the mount uses a flat-surface base, a track-mount base, or a clamp-style attachment to ensure a proper fit for your kayak type.

Rinse kayak mounts with fresh water after every saltwater or brackish water outing to prevent corrosion and buildup on hardware and moving parts. Periodically check all bolts and locking knobs for tightness, and store kayak mounts out of direct sunlight when not in use to slow UV degradation on plastic components.
