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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need to drill any holes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. The system uses your existing rod holder tube as the mount. Nothing permanent, no modification to the kayak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it hold in choppy water?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use a different UV-Blocker umbrella?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it work on a canoe or SUP?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"UV-Blocker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55490269970600,"sku":null,"price":124.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2404\/2067\/files\/Kayak1.png?v=1777833135","url":"https:\/\/uv-blocker.com\/products\/kayak-umbrella-holder","provider":"UV-Blocker","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
