Lowrance RAM 1" Mark/Elite 4" Series Quick Release Mount
Lowrance RAM 1" Mark/Elite 4" Series Quick Release Mount — Product description
Upgrade Your Fishing Setup with a Reliable Quick-Release Mount
Anglers who rely on Lowrance Elite-4 and Mark-4 series fishfinders know the frustration of a shaky screen during rough waters or the hassle of permanent installations. This RAM quick-release mounting system changes that, offering a secure yet removable setup perfect for light-duty applications like kayak fishing, small boats, or even ice fishing shelters. Crafted from powder-coated marine-grade aluminum, it withstands saltwater spray, sun exposure, and constant vibrations without corroding or loosening.
What sets this apart is the modular design: snap your fishfinder off in seconds to store safely or swap between vessels. No tools needed for daily use, and the 1-inch rubber "B" ball system delivers smooth, infinite adjustments for the ideal viewing angle, whether you're tracking schools of bass or walleye from the helm.
Key Components for Seamless Versatility
Quick-Release Adapter Base
This custom-fit adapter slides directly into the rear slot of your Lowrance unit, locking it firmly with a 1-inch ball ready for action. Ideal for models like Elite-4, Elite-4x, and Mark-4—lightweight fishfinders that don't overwhelm the "light use" rating.
- Direct insertion—no drilling required
- Removable in under 5 seconds
- Marine-grade aluminum for longevity
Double Socket Arm (RAM-B-201U)
The 3.69-inch arm with 3-inch socket-to-socket span provides just the right reach. Internal springs keep connections tight, allowing 360-degree rotation and tilts up to 30 degrees for glare-free screens in any light.
- Precision pivoting for perfect sightlines
- Shock-absorbing rubber balls reduce bounce
- Compact enough for tight dashboards
2-7/16-Inch Flat Base (RAM-B-202U)
A sturdy platform with pre-drilled holes and AMPS pattern compatibility. Bolt it to consoles, rails, or custom brackets—versatile for any boat setup.

Easy Setup and Pro Tips for Peak Performance
Assemble in minutes: Attach the adapter to your fishfinder, connect the arm to the ball, then secure the base. Use stainless steel hardware in saltwater to prevent galvanic corrosion. For kayaks, pair with a RAM track ball for slide-and-lock convenience.
Maintenance is simple—rinse with freshwater after use, inspect rubber balls for wear, and tighten sockets annually. This system shines in freshwater tournaments or coastal adventures, keeping your sonar stable when bites heat up.

Where It Excels: Real-World Applications
