Lowrance MB-8 1-1/2 Ball Mount Bracket with 8 Arm for 5 to 8 Units

Picture this: you're out on the water, chasing that perfect cast or tracking a school of fish under choppy conditions. Your Lowrance display is bouncing around, making it impossible to read charts or sonar returns clearly. That's where the MB-8 mount changes everything. This rugged 1-1/2" ball mount bracket, featuring an extended 8-inch arm and sturdy mounting plate, locks your 5- to 8-inch Lowrance units in place with rock-solid stability. Designed in partnership with RAM Mounting Systems, it's built for the demands of serious anglers and boaters who refuse to compromise on performance.

Superior Adjustability Meets Marine-Grade Toughness

The secret to this mount's reliability lies in the iconic RAM ball-and-socket system. Unlike rigid fixed mounts that crack under vibration or limit your viewing angles, the 1-1/2" ball allows near-infinite adjustments. Tilt, swivel, and rotate your unit to the perfect position—whether you're standing at the helm, sitting low in a kayak, or navigating from the bow. The long 8-inch arm extends your reach, ideal for larger consoles or multi-unit setups, keeping screens glare-free and within easy view.

Key Features That Stand Out

• Extended 8-Inch Arm: Provides ample offset for optimal screen placement without crowding your dash or rail.
• 1-1/2" Ball Technology: Proven RAM design handles heavy loads and high-speed vibrations without loosening.
• Versatile Mounting Plate: Flat base secures to any smooth surface—gunnel, pedestal, or tubing—with included hardware for a flush fit.
• Corrosion-Resistant Materials: Powder-coated marine-grade aluminum and stainless steel components laugh off saltwater exposure and freshwater splashes alike.
• Universal Fit for Lowrance: Perfect for popular 5- to 8-inch models like HDS LIVE, Elite FS, Hook Reveal, and Ghost trolling motor displays.

Real-World Performance on the Water

Boaters swear by this mount for its ability to hold steady in rough seas. Imagine pounding through wakes at trolling speed—your sonar stays level, GPS tracks uninterrupted, and charts remain crisp. It's not just for big boats; kayak anglers love how it adapts to flush-mount rods or limited deck space. Off the water, it transitions seamlessly to ATVs or trucks for ice fishing rigs. What sets it apart from generic brackets? No plastic parts to fatigue, no wobbly sockets after a season of abuse. It's the mount that grows with your passion for the outdoors.

Effortless Setup for Quick Deployments

1. Choose your mount location—ensure it's flat and accessible.
2. Secure the base plate with the provided bolts or RAM clamps (not included for custom fits).
3. Attach the double-socket arm to the ball, then snap on your Lowrance unit's RAM cradle.
4. Tighten the Nylex no-slip washers just enough for secure hold with easy repositioning.

Assembly takes under 10 minutes, and adjustments are tool-free. Pro tip: Apply a light marine grease to the ball socket annually for buttery-smooth operation year after year.
