The RAM Mount RAMB-202 is a 2.5" round base with a 1" ball, designed as a foundation component for building a complete RAM mounting system on your boat, helm, or console. The pre-drilled round base mounts flush to any flat surface, and the integrated 1" ball connects to any compatible RAM single or double socket arm for flexible, tool-free positioning of your chartplotter, VHF radio, fishfinder, or other marine electronics.
The ball-and-socket design uses a single internal spring to keep the connection open during adjustment, allowing near-infinite pivot and tilt before locking into your preferred viewing angle. Once set, the connection holds firm against vibration and wave action.
- 2.5" round base with pre-drilled mounting holes
- 1" RAM ball — compatible with all RAM 1" socket arms and accessories
- Spring-loaded socket technology for smooth, tool-free adjustment
- Near-infinite pivot range for precise viewing angle
- Suitable for helm consoles, dash panels, and flat mounting surfaces
Best Use Case: Ideal as the base component when building a custom helm mount for a chartplotter, VHF, or fishfinder display. Pair with a compatible double socket arm and device-specific adapter plate to complete your mounting solution. Works best on flat, solid surfaces where the pre-drilled base can be fastened securely.

Parts Desk Insights: This base is the starting point for most 1" RAM ball helm installations. Customers frequently pair it with the RAM-B-201 double socket arm and a device-specific cradle or adapter plate. If your display or device uses a 1.5" ball system, see the RAM-202 2.5" Round Base with 1.5" Ball instead. Confirm your arm's ball size before ordering — 1" and 1.5" ball systems are not interchangeable.
