Common Concerns Answered
Does this mount include mounting hardware?
This mount is designed for attachment to a boat's surface. While basic mounting hardware is typically included for the device-to-mount connection, users may need to procure appropriate fasteners (screws, bolts) suitable for their specific vessel's construction and intended mounting location for the mount-to-boat connection. Consult the installation manual for details.
What if I boat in very rough conditions?
While this mount offers secure holding for typical marine use, some users have expressed a desire for more robust hardware for extremely rough conditions. For such applications, consider supplementing the included fasteners with marine-grade stainless steel hardware and ensuring a firm, stable mounting surface.
Will the tilt mechanism become stiff over time?
Occasional reports of the tilt mechanism becoming stiff over time have been noted. Regular maintenance, including occasional cleaning and lubrication with a marine-grade lubricant, can help ensure the longevity and smooth operation of the tilt and swivel functionality.
