Overview
The Garmin 010-12697-00 is a mounting cradle for the GHS 11 and GHS 11i wired VHF handset, so the handset has a dedicated place to hang near the radio.
On a boat that is moving, a handset left on the dash can slide, drop, or end up tugging on its cable. A fixed cradle keeps it within reach at the helm or nav station and makes it easier to stow the handset the same way every time.
Key features
- Fits Garmin GHS 11 and GHS 11i wired VHF handsets.
- Creates a consistent hang-up point next to your compatible VHF radio.
- Helps keep the handset from sliding around on the console in chop or wake.
- Supports cleaner cable routing by keeping the handset parked in one spot.
- Mounting hardware included for a straightforward screw-down install.
Compatibility and fit
This cradle is made for the GHS 11 series handset and is not a universal microphone clip. If you are using a different Garmin handset or a standard VHF microphone, the fit will not be correct.
Before drilling, hold the cradle in place and confirm you have enough clearance to lift the handset in and out easily, plus a clean path for the handset cable that avoids sharp edges and pinch points.
Installation and setup
Mount the cradle to a firm, flat surface near where you normally operate the radio, such as a helm side panel, cockpit bulkhead, or inside the cabin at a nav station. If the mounting surface is thin fiberglass, use an appropriate backing method so the cradle stays secure over time.
After mounting, leave a small service loop in the handset cable and secure the run so the cable is not taking the load when the handset is stowed.

Onboard use
This is a practical add-on for boats that run a GHS 11/11i handset at the primary helm or a secondary station and want a clean, repeatable place to stow it between calls.
