RAM-D-111U-C Review

Not too long ago I bought a Humminbird 1197 fish finder and gps combo. I had to think long and hard about such a purchase, since the unit cost nearly 3 grand. But I knew that this would improve my fishing and enjoyment out on the lake. After I bought the unit, I needed a secure way to mount it to my boat. I knew the RAM-D-111U-C was well respected by many fishermen, so I ordered one and mounted it to my 20 foot aluminum boat.

The installation was pretty easy. I drilled 3 screws and used quality stainless steel headlight head bolts with nylock nuts to secure the unit to my console. My boat is a modified V and in high winds, it can really dish out the punishment.

About the third trip out, I had been fishing a small creek. When I came out of the creek into the main channel, I was hit with 15 to 20 mph winds which had kicked up the waves to about 2 foot or so. I had to run about 2 miles in this stuff and it beat me up really good, even at slow speed. It even knocked my battery box up front loose. Every time I came down off a wave it was with a resounding “BAM”.

The RAM-D-111U-C held my Humminbird 1197 firmly at first but as I continued to push through the waves, the unit began to lean backward a little. As I kept going, the unit kept flopping backward until I finally reached over the console and pulled it back up. I tightened the side screws down as tight as I could and it kept the unit secured until I reached the ramp. This mount is a beast and I don’t know of any fish finders it’s designed for that it couldn’t hold.

I don’t know of another mount that would have kept my Humminbird 1197 from receiving major damage on that trip! This mount is beefy and easily holds my 10 pound plus unit, even in the rough stuff.
