Whether fishing, floating, or whitewater rafting, the versatility and portability of inflatable boats and inflatable watercraft make these vessels very popular.
Unfortunately, the material inflatables are made of – PVC or Hypalon – make them slightly more difficult to find mounting bases for securing rod holders, phones, action cameras, and more. But with the RAM® ball and socket system, it’s as simple as choosing an adhesive solution like the RAM® Bond-A-Base™ or a strap base with a connected RAM® ball.
Check out the options below to see how you can keep your favorite devices safe and accessible on the water.
For all kinds of inflatable boats and rafts, the RAM® Bond-A-Base™ is an ideal universal mounting solution. The flexible base can be applied to any PVC or Hypalon watercraft surface thanks to the included 3M VHB double back adhesive pad.
