Ram Mount - Ball mount for Portable GPS. Rivet? Well Nut? SS Bolt & Lock Nut?
Hi all.
I'm gonna mount my Garmin GPS onto my Prowler 15 using the Ram Mount system. I want to put it on the rise between the footwells. I transport the boat upside-down on my Land Cruiser (see my Av) so I'll mount the ball low enough to still be able to do that without putting the ball mount through my sun roof! When mounting this, would you recommend Rivets, Well Nuts or small SS bolts with washers and lock nuts? My thinking is this:
A copious slathering of Goop will be applied to the fastener at the time of the install. Your thoughts are appreciated. Thanks -Ken

I like using rivets for RAM, I have used self tapping stainless screws and thru bolted as well. Able to reach the back, I would go bolts/nylocks

What Iceman said, maybe with a little re-enforcement underneath with a piece of plastic such as a cutting board cut to fit available at Wallymart, just a thought.....H
