Anyone gone down this road? I’m thinking it could be tricky to fit in the current location and ballast could get interesting. Powerboat Fishfinder Mounts – RAM Mounts
@BoatSD What’s your angle/application?
Pretty much any angle I want depending on the task. I have not tested it yet in the water or trimmed the buoyancy. I’ll update how it works out. I’m using a 1” ball which holds really strong but a 1.5” ball would probably be even better. Curious to see how well it holds when wet. With the longer ram arm you get more articulation and a few more inches above the ROV.
Ok, let us know how it works out!
Cool fairing!
Hi Joe,
All the tests were successful ?? Do you always use it?
I would like to do the same as you, it would be a very good solution to facilitate my recuperations !!
For test, waiting for the RAM Mount !!
Hey Jean
So here is the set up I settled on. You can see the ram mount plate attached under the battery housing. I didn’t get to do any testing though. The gripper stopped working and I haven’t had a chance to diagnose it yet. Probably messed up a cable wire bending it around trying different set ups. I like this set up though because you can store the gripper out of camera view when not in use and still have the ability to point it where you want and offset a little so you can see around it.

@BoatSD , Hi Joe,
Superb !! You kept the ball in 1 ‘’, is it resistant enouth?
Many thanks
Seems strong enough. I added a lock washer to the clamp as well, gets good and snug.
