GearTrack Ram ball?
Does anyone have an issue with the ball spinning loose since there is only one center screw holding it? I installed on directly on to my Pro angler side board and found that it spins loose. I'm planning to put on some lock tight but i'm not sure if that enough. Any ideas on how to keep it from coming loose? Anyone have the same issue using it on a gear track?

I read a while back that if you're using one for a rod holder that's being used for trolling you want to keep it on the right side of the kayak. Even still if the fish hits are levers the rod around counter-clockwise you risk loosening the ball. It might be worth mounting a diamond-based ram ball to dedicate for rod holder use.

Maybe think about getting mighty mounts for your rails and throw scottys on. I loved that setup on my PA

Thanks for the feedback everyone, i think i'll take it out a few times with the wife before making a decision on hold holders. I'd hate to drill in to the thing just to find its not what i want.

I have two installed on my PA and I've never had them come loose. I do recall tightening the bolt as tight as possible but I do not recall whether or not I used Locktite.

In addition to the other comments, consider using the 1-1/2" ball for rods. The 1" seems good for cameras and just adequate for fishfinders.
