ParkerMount: GPS / Fishfinder Extension Arm Mount |
|
With a ParkerMount PKR-1500, you can securely mount your mobile GPS or fishfinder, position the display exactly where you need it, and "park" the unit out of your way when not in use.
The ParkerMount supports RAM Mounts cradles for dozens of popular GPS and fishfinder models including those from Garmin, Magellan, Humminbird and many other manufacturers.
The price of $79.95 includes your ParkerMount and RAM mounting hardware — everything you need, except the custom cradle. The ParkerMount includes the diamond base and ball (shown behind the cradle at right). You select and purchase the cradle directly from RAM Mounting Systems, the premiere manufacturer of mounts for use in harsh, challenging environments. GPS / fishfinder cradle prices at RAM Mounts or a RAM authorized dealer average $15-$20.00.
More about the construction of the ParkerMount...
The integration of RAM Mounts components with our Kayalu Toughbar® extension arm make the ParkerMount an exceptional choice if you are looking for an extraordinarily durable mount with a rigid base.
The ParkerMount's anodized aluminum base has a rubberized ball that is coupled to a ball-and-socket joint and a Toughbar® extension arm.
Atop the Toughbar® extension arm, the ParkerMount includes a second ball-and-socket joint connecting the arm to your GPS or fishfinder cradle. The ParkerMount's two ball-and-socket jointed couplers let you position and lock your device with an unparalleled level of versatility.
How is a ParkerMount installed?
The ParkerMount's aluminum base can be easily bolted to virtually any surface — a boat or kayak deck, wooden cabinet or dashboard.
We provide all the necessary hardware required for installation, including four sets of stainless steel bolts, locknuts and washers. We even include the correctly sized drill bit to match the hardware.
What's more, you can either fold the ParkerMount out of the way when not in use or remove all of the ParkerMount components except the base by loosening the base coupler. The remaining base and ball can be used as a spare cleat or point of attachment for a bungee cable.
Wow... A ParkerMount with 2 Toughbar® extensions!
When you order a ParkerMount (or even at a later date), you have the option of adding a second Toughbar® extension arm to provide additional height and flexibility. You can order our 8" (20 cm) Toughbar or our 10" (25 cm) Toughbar. This "elbow" gives you three separate ball-and-socket couplers, each of which can be adjusted and locked.
