VAUBORTTI Aluminum Fish Finder Mount with 1.5'' Ball, 14.76'' Dual Rod Extended Arm

What buyers think

Buyer-review evidence points to strong overall build quality and usability. Multiple reviewers describe the mount as easy to install and highly adjustable, with solid holding on rough water at speed. The aluminum construction and materials are frequently called out as better than lighter plastic mounts for other displays.

At the same time, there is limited but meaningful review evidence that very heavy fish finder units may not stay put as confidently on the lowest, fixed ball position, even when tightened, in at least one case requiring additional securing. There is also limited discussion of articulation movement, with mixed impressions that appear sensitive to how the arm is positioned and the specific device weight.

Design and build quality

The mount is centered around a marine-grade aluminum alloy body that is die-cast as a single piece, then finished with a powder-coated, baked surface intended to resist corrosion over time. That matters because fish finders and chartplotters spend their lives around saltwater spray and wet weather, where rust-prone hardware can loosen or degrade.

At the connection points, the package relies on a 1.5-inch TPU ball (with an anti-slip surface) plus an extended dual-rod arm. In practical terms, you are getting a positioning system that is meant to hold your device angle while still allowing adjustment when you need to re-aim for different seating positions or operating scenarios.

Adjustment range and day-to-day usability

The standout feature is the 14.76-inch full-length, dual-rod extended arm. Buyers who value a better sightline tend to like being able to bring the screen up or forward so they are not constantly looking down. The adjustability is also described as intuitive, which helps during initial setup and quick re-aiming.

For tightening, the oversized wingnut is designed for a better grip than a smaller knob, which can be helpful when everything is wet or you are wearing gloves. That small ergonomic upgrade can make a difference because mounts only work as intended when adjustments can be reliably locked down.

Compatibility: what it fits (and what to double-check)

This mount is designed for universal mounting patterns and is compatible with a 1.5-inch / C-size / 38mm adapter and mounting system. It supports multiple hole patterns, and it is explicitly listed for several Garmin and Lowrance fish finder and chartplotter models.

Garmin compatibility examples

• ECHOMAP CHIRP series (72, 73, 74, 75, 92, 93, 94, 95).
• ECHOMAP Plus (7, 9).
• ECHOMAP UHD and UHD2 (including 6, 7, 9 variants).
• GPSMAP 722, 722xs, 742, 742xs, and 8 or 9-inch series.
• Striker line (including Vivid and Plus variants named for 5cv, 7cv, 7sv, 9sv, and related models).

Lowrance compatibility examples

• Eagle 7 and 9.
• ELITE FS 7 and 9.
• Elite-7 and HDS Carbon / HDS LIVE series (7 and 9 variants).
• HOOK Reveal, HOOK-7 and HOOK-9 series, and HOOK2 variants listed.

What to double-check before buying: make sure your unit mounting pattern matches the pre-drilled rectangular mounting plate, and confirm your system uses the 1.5-inch C-size style ball/adapter approach. If your fish finder is on the heavier side for your model line, consider how far you plan to tilt the arm, since extreme angles plus weight are where joint behavior can matter most.

Pros and cons for different buyers

Best for

• Boat owners who want an extended-arm mount to bring a display into a more comfortable, readable viewing angle.
• Users with Garmin or Lowrance fish finder and chartplotter models that match the listed compatibility.
• Anyone who prefers aluminum construction and corrosion resistance over plastic mounts.

Consider carefully

• If you have a heavier fish finder unit, pay extra attention to your target angle and how the mount locks down.
• If your layout requires repeated, fine-angle changes, you will want to ensure the tightening setup suits your device weight and position.

Verdict: is it worth it?

The VAUBORTTI aluminum fish finder mount is a practical choice when you want a more rigid, corrosion-resistant mount with a long 14.76-inch adjustment reach and a 1.5-inch TPU ball for holding angle. For many buyers, the combination of build quality, adjustability, and stability on choppy water is the deciding factor.

That said, review evidence is not uniform across every device weight and angle. If you are running a heavier model or plan to operate at steep tilt angles, treat it as a “measure your fit” purchase. Check compatibility for your exact unit and think about how the mount will support the display at your preferred position.
