I am looking for a suction cup I can use to mount a camera to my kayak deck. 
Preferable the suciton cup would come with a tripod camera screw.

If you find a suction cup Sid, standard size for a tripod is 1/4-20
thread, a most commonly accessible bolt size.

If you have problems finding the suction cup, inexpensive running lights
for small boats are available with large suction cups with bolts set
though I don't know the thread.  If they are larger or smaller than the
1/4-20, I will turn and tap an aluminum adapter if you want (2 minute
job).

Just to drop in an alternative...  Those R-A-M mount doohikies have one  
with a tripod screw.   Quite a bit more solid than a suction cup, but the 
mount does require three holes drilled.

Suction cups just never seemed to hold solid enough for me to be 
comfortable with.
