RAM Mounting Systems RAM ROD Flush Base

This base is specifically designed for RAM ROD and RAM-TUBE holders that utilize a spline post connection. If your current holder has a spline post, it will be compatible.

The mount is designed to fit gunwales up to two inches thick. If your kayak or boat gunwale is thicker than that, this specific base will not be compatible.

Yes, it includes a protective rubber cap that fits over the top to keep water and debris out when the rod holder is removed. It also comes with a threaded cap to seal the underside of the mount.

Installation is straightforward, but it does require drilling a hole in your deck or gunwale to accommodate the base. Because it is a flush-mount design, you will need access to the underside of the mounting surface to secure the threaded cap.

While this base provides a secure, stable mounting point, it is primarily designed for standard rod holding duties on kayaks and small boats. For heavy-duty trolling or very large offshore setups, you may want to consider a reinforced or surface-mounted alternative.
