Kayak Umbrella Holder Kit

Everything you need for hands-free sun protection on the water — the UV-Blocker Kayak Umbrella Holder Kit includes the RAM mounting system and a 62" UV-Blocker Golf Umbrella. No drilling. No rigging. Just shade.

The kit uses a RAM Press-N-Lock base that wedges directly into your kayak or boat's existing flush-mount rod holder tube — turning any standard rod holder into a rock-solid umbrella mount. Insert, lock, angle, and paddle. Both hands free.

What's Included

• UV-Blocker 62" Golf Umbrella — UPF 50+, blocks 99%+ of UV-A and UV-B, wind-resistant canopy
• RAM Press-N-Lock Base — wedges into flush-mount rod holder tubes (1.5"–1.875" inner diameter)
• 12" UV-Blocker RAM Tube — ball-base arm that connects the mount to the umbrella holder
• Snug Adapters — align the pole and reduce rattle or vibration underway

How to Set Up (3 Steps)

1. Insert the base — Press the RAM Press-N-Lock base into your kayak or boat's flush-mount rod holder tube. It wedges in snugly — no tools, no screws.
2. Attach the tube — Connect the UV-Blocker RAM tube onto the ball of the Press-N-Lock base. The ball-and-socket joint gives you full directional control.
3. Insert & open the umbrella — Slide the 62" Golf Umbrella into the RAM tube, open the canopy, and lock it in place with the large thumb screw. Done.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this fit my kayak?
If your kayak has a flush-mount rod holder (the kind where the tube sits flush with the deck), this kit fits. The RAM Press-N-Lock base is sized for tubes with a 1.5" to 1.875" inner diameter — the standard found on most sit-on-top and fishing kayaks.

Do I need to drill any holes?
No. The system uses your existing rod holder tube as the mount. Nothing permanent, no modification to the kayak.

Will it hold in choppy water?
The RAM mount is rated for vibration and impact, and the snug adapters minimize rattle. That said, this kit is designed for calm to moderate conditions — flat water, slow rivers, and protected bays. We don't recommend it for rough offshore or whitewater use.

Can I use a different UV-Blocker umbrella?
The RAM tube holder accommodates UV-Blocker umbrella shafts. The kit ships with the 62" Golf Umbrella. If you already own a compatible UV-Blocker umbrella, contact us to ask about the holder-only option.

Does it work on a canoe or SUP?
It works on any watercraft with a flush-mount rod holder tube in the 1.5"–1.875" range. Many fishing canoes and some SUPs have these. Check your vessel's rod holder specs before ordering.
