RAM Mounting Systems: Secure, Versatile Mounts That Keep Your Gear Right Where You Need It
RAM Mounting Systems delivers some of the most trusted mounting solutions available for outdoor enthusiasts, anglers, and paddlers who demand reliable gear positioning on the water and beyond. Whether you're rigging a kayak with electronics or securing devices to a surface in the field, RAM's modular ball-and-socket design makes it easy to build a setup that holds firm through rough conditions. The collection at OutdoorUp spans kayak mounts, surface mounts, and the adapters that connect them — giving you the flexibility to customize without compromise.
Why Paddlers and Outdoor Adventurers Trust RAM Mounts
- Keep your fish finder exactly where you can see it — RAM's ball-and-socket system lets you dial in the perfect viewing angle and lock it down, even on choppy water.
- Reduce clutter on your kayak deck — stackable and modular components mean fewer separate mounts competing for limited real estate on your hull.
- Adapt your setup as your gear evolves — interchangeable bases and arms mean you're not starting from scratch when you upgrade a device or switch watercraft.
- Mount confidently to smooth or curved surfaces — the RAM Tough-Mag 48MM 4-Point Magnetic Mounting Base provides a strong, tool-free hold on compatible surfaces without drilling.
- Streamline storage and transport — accessories like the RAM Stack-N-Stow Ball Adapter let you break down your rig quickly when it's time to load up and head home.
Choosing the Right RAM Mount for Your Setup
Start by identifying your base surface — whether that's a kayak rail, a flat deck, or a ferromagnetic panel — because the right base determines everything downstream. From there, match the ball size (RAM uses lettered sizing, such as B and C) across your components to ensure compatibility. Kayak anglers running multiple devices will benefit most from surface mounts that allow stacking, while minimalist paddlers may only need a single arm-and-ball combination to position a phone or GPS. When in doubt, lean toward a slightly larger ball size for heavier devices — it gives you more stability without sacrificing adjustability.
Frequently Asked Questions about RAM Mounting Systems
-
RAM mounting systems are modular hardware solutions designed to securely attach devices, accessories, and gear to surfaces like kayaks, vehicles, and workstations. RAM mounting systems use a ball-and-socket design that allows users to adjust the angle and position of mounted items without tools in most cases.
-
RAM mounting systems for kayaks are designed for paddlers who want to securely attach fish finders, GPS units, phones, or cameras to their kayak without drilling permanent holes. Kayak anglers and touring paddlers especially benefit from the adjustable, removable nature of RAM kayak mounts.
-
Start by selecting a RAM kayak mount base that fits your kayak's surface type, then attach the base using the appropriate hardware for your deck style. Once the base is secured, connect the ball arm and device holder, then tighten the knob to lock everything in place at your preferred angle.
-
Yes, most RAM mounting systems are designed to work across a wide range of kayak brands and styles, though compatibility depends on the specific base type you choose. Surface mount and track-based options give paddlers flexibility to find a fit for different deck configurations and rail systems.
-
A RAM kayak mount is specifically designed for attachment to kayak decks, tracks, or scupper holes, while a RAM surface mount attaches directly to flat or curved surfaces like dashboards, walls, or equipment panels. Choosing between the two depends on where and how you need to position your device.
-
Start by identifying the surface you are mounting to and the device or accessory you need to hold, then match those to the appropriate RAM mounting system base and arm size. RAM systems use size designations for their ball components, so checking compatibility between your base, arm, and device holder is an important step before purchasing.
-
Because RAM mounting systems offer a tool-free, adjustable, and highly modular design that works across dozens of surfaces and device types, outdoor enthusiasts trust them for reliable gear organization in demanding environments. The ability to swap components between setups also makes RAM mounting systems a cost-effective long-term solution for paddlers, hikers, and overlanders.
-
Yes, RAM mounting systems are built for outdoor use and are commonly used in marine and kayaking environments where exposure to water, UV light, and vibration is expected. The materials used across the RAM mounting system lineup are selected to resist corrosion and maintain a secure hold even in rough conditions.
-
RAM mounting systems are worth the investment for outdoor users who need a reliable, adjustable, and interchangeable mounting solution that holds up over time. Unlike generic mounts, RAM mounting systems are part of a modular ecosystem, meaning components can be mixed, matched, and reused across different gear setups without buying an entirely new mount each time.
-
Rinse RAM mounting system components with fresh water after saltwater or heavy outdoor use, then dry thoroughly before storing to prevent corrosion or debris buildup in the ball joints. Store RAM mounting system parts in a dry location away from prolonged direct sunlight to extend the life of the materials.
