Axopar do a great slot

scroll down until you see the iPad bit.

You can also buy ones online meant for planes that are similar. I think the Axopar one is nicer if anyone knows where to get it!

I use the type with sticky gel on the suction pad and hasn't fell off the dashboard yet even in rough sea. I think mine was from Amazon.

Actually the one I use is for a large phone, my point is, a normal suction cup (with lever) which is also coated in a gel like substance works very well. So basically search on amazon etc for that design. Normal suction without the gel simply don't hold, based on experience.

I got one of these, I removed the clamp and bolted it to the side of my radar monitor mounting bracket.. really pleased with it, very tough.

I tried a suction pad mount but it was not successful. Double sided self adhesive Velcro works perfectly.

I've tried several with suction mounting and although I have never had problems with the suction pad itself, I have found anything with a arm and ram mount tends to vibrate a lot unless you can tilt it in such a way that the tablet also rests against something. It's feasible but awkward and you always seem to end up fiddling with it to get it right.
In the end I gave up on the idea and mounted it directly using a Konig Tablet fixed wall mount.

These do have screws but it would not be beyond the wit of most to fit a suction pad on one. I never, I just screwed it in as a permanent fixture because the panel it went into is easily replaceable should I tire of it. It also has the advantage is it can rotate on a spring loaded splined base so is quickly and easily changed from portrait to landscape.

no, sorry I did search, that was the best pic I had, all the others were from ahead!

But you can see from the pic of the tablet holder, where the clamp is you can simple unscrew the bottom section/clamp part, throw that away and you are left with the smart black angled metal bracket attached to the bendy section and holder. This I simply marked up on the side of my radar mount, drilled 4 holes in it and bolted it on, looks a professional job IMO.. and that bendy section is very stiff so don't worry if you are mounting a large tablet, it will hold it!

When next down I will take a pic and post it here, might not be for a week or so.

The tablet and the dashboard.

I use the Ringo one, it has the option of an adhesive pad mount or a single screw and takes a tablet from 7"-12". It sits very flush to the mounting panel but there are adjustable versions.

I have just bought this one. Worth a try for the large space on my Sealine S24
