Mount for 93SV

Will a 1″ ball Ram mount be sufficient for my new 93SV?
Other recommendations?

No.

If you don’t need it to adjust left/right your best bet is to directly bolt the factory mount right down.

I think a 1″ will be fine, I have 2 of the 73vs on a 2″ and it’s overkill. I would never direct mount that factory mount. Not nearly enough movement.

To split the difference, I recommend a 1-1/2″ ball. That works great for me. I wouldn’t go up to 2″ unless in really rough water a lot. A 1″ ball is too small for that size Garmin. Good luck!

That’s the whole point….it doesn’t move

You can still tip the graph up and down though. It’s more versatile than a flush mount.

It’s the most solid mount you can do (other than a flush)…..and best of all you don’t need to buy an add-on.

It obviously doesn’t work on every boat or for everybody.

In my big boat I have a pair of 73sv plus’s flush mounted at the helm, a GPSMap 942xs mounted overhead to the hard top with the gimbal (for radar), and a third 73sv plus mounted with the gimbal underneath the cleaning/rigging board in the back of the boat. Daddy likey

Just mounted my 93 on a 1 1/2” ram mount on the snowmobile. Very rough ride up at the northwest Angle 2 weeks ago and it never moved/slipped. I don’t think I’d go any smaller.

Well if you have the money to put a graph in every corner of your boat good for you. If not the factor mount doesn’t have near the movement that you need. End of story!

And I agree with others that it should be a 1.5″ ball not a 1″, that was my bad.
