RAM RAM-109V Single Swing Arm Vertical Surface Mount System

Full-Swing Vertical Mount for Flexible Display Positioning

The RAM RAM-109V is a single swing arm mounting system designed for vertical surface installation ideal for mounting to the side of a console, a cabin wall, or any vertical panel where you need a display to swing out, rotate, and lock into the perfect viewing position. Unlike ball-and-socket systems, the RAM-109V uses a rigid bent swing arm with two independent 360 pivot points, giving you a wide range of motion with a solid, mechanical feel.

The 6″ bent arm keeps the display offset from the mounting surface, and the two pivot points one at the base and one at the plate end allow you to swing the display out, angle it toward the viewer, and lock it in place. The wide 6-1/4″ x 2″ rectangular plate accommodates a broad range of marine electronics with its multiple pre-drilled hole patterns.

Key Features

• 6″ bent swing arm in powder-coated marine-grade aluminum
• Vertical surface mounting base mounts to the side of a console, wall, or panel
• Two independent 360 pivot points: one at the base, one at the plate-to-arm junction
• Wide 6-1/4″ x 2″ rectangular plate with multiple pre-drilled hole patterns
• Fits marine GPS, chartplotters, CB radios, ham radios, gimbal brackets, and more
• Powder-coated marine-grade aluminum for corrosion resistance in saltwater environments

Vertical vs. Horizontal Choosing the Right Orientation

The RAM-109V mounts to a vertical surface (side of a console, bulkhead, or panel) and swings the display outward and forward. If you need to mount to a horizontal surface (top of a console or dash) and swing the display up and toward the viewer, see the RAM Single Swing Arm Horizontal Mount System.

If you prefer a ball-and-socket system with infinite micro-adjustment rather than a swing arm, the RAM RAM-111 1.5″ Ball Standard Arm Universal Mount Kit, RAM RAM-111UB Short Arm Kit, and RAM RAM-111UD Long Arm Kit offer the same wide plate in a ball-and-socket configuration.

Parts Desk Insights

Best use case: This mount is the right call when a customer needs to mount a display on a vertical surface the side of a helm console, a cabin bulkhead, or a panel and wants the ability to swing it out for viewing and tuck it back when not in use. The two pivot points give more range of motion than a single-pivot arm, and the rigid swing arm feel is preferred by some customers over the micro-adjustability of ball-and-socket systems. It’s a particularly good fit for cabin or below-deck installs where the display needs to fold away. Confirm the customer’s mounting surface is vertical before ordering for horizontal surfaces, the horizontal swing arm version is the correct choice.
