Is the underside of this cover mount flush? I am thinking about using it upside down as a platform with some velcro for my radar detector? Also are the listed dimension 5x2" about right?

It is flush. It comes with spacers so it will fit evenly on a slightly rounded fluid reservoir. I use it on my Gold Wing, with a mount (also from Ram) for my GPS. It makes for a very solid, stable mount. I don't know what you mean, "using it upside down". The dimensions are 1 3/4" x 4". (I just went out to the garage and measured it.)

Yes. The underside is flush, and it would make a fine platform for a variety of things. I use mine bolted to the clutch slave cylinder, use some arms for a phone holder, and use the remaining surface to velcro a garage door opener to it. Should work fine for your purpose and those dimensions are a little off. It's about 4.25" x 2".

There are spacers provided that I used to mount above the brake reservoir, but my friend mounted his flush without the spacers and it holds the same. The dimensions are accurate.

I have mine mounted with screws, so I am not able to see the back. I might suggest a strip of Velcro, in case the back is a little recessed. I do believe that it is flush however. It is the best I have seen available.

Anyone ever get an actual dimension of the mounting pads? Tight on space to mount and want to get the exact size. Thanks.

The cover is approximately 2" wide and 8" high. It snaps over the mount once it is installed.

My radio is flush mounted but with the bracket that comes with the radio to install on top of a console or something is much easier to remove and install. One minute to remove/install.

It's not a cover but a rail mount . To answer your question ,I don't know .I purchased a rail to modify for a Yugo SKS which made a solid mount that held steady,on sight.

No Mike you might want to return it mine is mounted firmly & secured on the rail.My one complaint is the picture on Amazon shows a tan colored one & even though I received a message from the seller that Lucid makes only Tan & Black but mine looks O.D.Green

First, verify with the manufacturer that this device is intended for kitchen range hood venting. As I recall, the flap depends on gravity (and perhaps magnetic seal) so mounting it upside down sounds problematic to me. I installed mine myself on a pitched roof as part of a fan forced bathroom vent system. It hasn't leaked that I know of.

The back is not flush. You must install it onto a out door junction box first for connection, then mount the box onto flat surface.

I have mine mounted on the side of the gunwall and it ratchets back toward the transom. You can adjust the antenna for Horziontal or Vertical mounting with the bottom bolt.

I was confused because the question didn't match with the item. Along with you question a photo of the radar detector magic mount was included.Anyway....yes you need to have it mounted on the dashboard because it picks up the radar in a 360 degree circumference.

given that you need a waterproof cover, I don't think it can be flush mounted. I guess you could recess it and install a clear shield that is flush in the dashboard. this has a remote so that would work. good luck.

I'm not sure. Had a custodian install mine ... and it actually ended up not being a flush mount .... there was a pipe we didn't anticipate ...

I don't use the provided mount. I have placed Velcro on the dash and unit - it is much more secure, has a lower profile from potential police and/or theft. Having it mounted this way it does not get into one's visual field and it works as it should.

I put the red dot all the way back in the mount. So the front was flush against the mount. Its a standard rail mount. Very easy to install.

It has a suction cup mount. I have a fairly smooth dash so it mounts fine. I do not know how well it would mount to a dash that is textured, though. BTW, The angle is also perfect for window mounting as well (turned upside down).

I haven't used an antenna. I have mine mounted on top of center console and it stays covered with the Bimini top with no noticeable satellite interference. Standard Horizon says if you flush mount you need an antenna though, not sure what the model number is but I have seen them on amazon under the section labeled " customers who bought this also bought these items". It is a pretty sweet unit, I love mine. I can navigate tight turn unmarked dredged channels without the spotlights at night.
