Ram wedge mount

So I ended up buying two of the ram flush rod holder wedge mounts to prevent drilling before I was ready. With the mounts the fit into the rod holders on my outback but will not tighten super tight. If I barely pull on themy they will come out. Has anyone had this issue? Or know how to fix it?
Thanks for the help.

I had the same issue. I ended up putting in Scotty flush mounts and then installed the smaller Ram wedge mounts into the Scotty flush mounts. Worked out very well but I did have to do some drilling.

When you use a wedge-mount in a Scotty flush mount, how far above the Scotty does the ball sit?

Every photo I see of the Ram wedge-mount makes it look like the bottom of the ball is easily two inches above the flush mount.

Did that make sense?

I want to put the Scotty flush mount in a somewhat vertical location around the mesh pocket of a Revo, and I'd prefer that the ball not stick out an extra couple of inches.

The base of the Ram ball sits flat on the flush mount. It actually works really well, I switch back to a Scotty mount easily if needed... Roy (coosbayaker) gave me the idea.
