Overview
The Vimar Idea 17080 is a 1-module mounting frame with a smooth front and claw mounting for IDEA devices in round 60 mm flush boxes or the Vimar 09971 surface mounting box.
It sits behind the cover plate and holds a single modular insert in place so the finished installation stays aligned when the panel sees vibration underway.
The frame is made from thermoplastic and can be installed in either horizontal or vertical orientation, depending on how the box is positioned on board.
Key features
- 1-module mounting frame for the Vimar IDEA wiring device system
- Smooth front profile to keep the insert and cover plate seated flat
- Claw mounting holds the frame in the box without relying on frame screws
- Fits round 60 mm flush-mount junction boxes and Vimar 09971 surface mounting boxes
- Can be oriented horizontally or vertically to match the box position
- Thermoplastic body that does not corrode in damp interior spaces
Variants
This mounting frame is offered in multiple color options.
Color varies between the versions below; the form factor remains a 1-module, smooth-front frame with claw mounting for round 60 mm flush boxes or the Vimar 09971 surface box.
- VM17080.B: Color Ivory. A light tone that blends with off-white panels and lighter gelcoat interiors.
- VM17080: Color Gray. A darker tone that suits gray trim and helps marks blend in around high-touch areas.
Installation and setup
Confirm the back box first: this frame is sized for a round 60 mm flush box or the Vimar 09971 surface mounting box. Fit the wiring device insert, then seat the frame so the claws grip the box and keep the module centered.
Once the insert is secured, finish with the matching cover plate for the IDEA system. This part does not add sealing, so use an enclosure or weatherproof hardware where spray or washdowns are expected.
Use on board
This frame is a common fit for refits and new builds that use Vimar IDEA modules for cabin switches, galley outlets, or helm accessories mounted into 60 mm round boxes. It is a good match when you need a mount that keeps the finished face low-profile and tidy, and that stays stable in everyday boat motion.
