Lowrance MB-36 2-1/4 Ball Mount Bracket with Short Arm for 10 Units

Secure your marine electronics with confidence using this robust ball mount bracket designed for demanding on-water conditions. Crafted to hold larger displays steady, it delivers the flexibility and strength boaters rely on for clear visibility during long outings or choppy seas.

Superior Adjustability Meets Marine Toughness

At the heart of this mount is proven ball-and-socket technology, offering almost endless positioning options. Tilt, swivel, or rotate your fishfinder or chartplotter to the perfect angle without tools—ideal for adapting to changing light, helm layouts, or crew preferences. The short arm keeps the setup compact at just over 8 inches tall, saving precious console space while maintaining a low profile.

Built from powder-coated, marine-grade aluminum, it shrugs off saltwater corrosion, UV exposure, and relentless vibrations from high-speed runs or rough wakes. Whether you're chasing trophy fish offshore or navigating inland waterways, this mount ensures your gear stays rock-solid.

Versatile Mounting Bases for Easy Integration

The setup includes two bases: a versatile 11" x 3" rectangular plate tailored for popular fishfinders and chartplotters, pre-drilled with common hole patterns, and a 3.68" round base featuring the universal AMPS pattern for broader compatibility. Both incorporate rugged 2.25" diameter rubber balls for secure, vibration-dampening connections.

• Rectangular top plate adapts to most large marine units; drill extra holes if needed for a custom fit.
• Round bottom plate drills directly into flat surfaces like consoles or bulkheads.
• Short double socket arm provides precise control without excess reach.

This combination makes it a go-to for upgrading older fixed mounts or creating stable setups on new boats, kayaks, or center consoles.

Pro Tips for Installation and Long-Term Performance

Start by selecting your mounting surface—ensure it's flat and structurally sound. Use stainless steel hardware (not included) for all fasteners to match the marine environment. Position the unit at eye level when seated, accounting for arm extension. Tighten the double socket arm just enough to hold position but allow smooth adjustments.

For heavy units near the weight limit, reinforce the base if mounting on thinner materials. Regularly inspect rubber balls for wear and clean with freshwater after saltwater exposure to extend life. This mount excels in tournament fishing setups, where quick screen checks can make or break the day.

Unlike flimsy suction cups or basic clamps, this drill-down solution locks in place for zero slip in rough conditions. It's a favorite among serious anglers for its balance of strength, simplicity, and adaptability—pairing seamlessly with major brands' larger screens. Elevate your electronics game without the hassle of constant readjustments.
