That gives the install a cleaner finished edge and helps limit spray and washdown water from getting into the space behind the console.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis gasket is intended for dash flush mounting, not for bracket or bail-mount installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade for flush mounting Garmin VHF 210, VHF 210i, VHF 210 AIS, VHF 215, and VHF 215 AIS radios\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeals the bezel-to-panel contact area to reduce water intrusion behind the dash in wet helm locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreates a neat edge around the radio opening so the cutout looks finished once the radio is tightened down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompresses as the radio is fastened to help take up minor panel surface irregularities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUseful for new installs and refits when you are re-bedding a radio in an existing dash cutout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a radio-specific gasket, so match it to the radio model on the faceplate before ordering. It fits the Garmin VHF 210 and VHF 215 chassis, including AIS versions, and is not a universal seal for other brands or other Garmin radio families.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf your radio is mounted on a bracket or uses a bail mount on top of the console, this part will not change that installation. It is for the style where the radio body passes through the dash and clamps from behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eDry-fit the radio in the dash opening first so the unit slides in without forcing. Place the gasket on the front side so it sits flat between the bezel and the dash surface, then tighten the mounting hardware evenly from behind to compress the gasket without pinching it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn textured or curved helm surfaces, take a moment to check for any gaps around the perimeter once the radio is snug. A consistent, even compression is what keeps the seal doing its job over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis gasket makes the most sense for helms that see regular spray, fishing washdowns, or an open cockpit where water finds its way behind panels. It is also a good match when you are cleaning up an older install and want the radio to sit tight against the dash again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen you remove the radio for service, inspect the gasket for tears or flattening and replace it if it no longer springs back. A quick wipe with fresh water after heavy salt use helps keep residue from building up around the bezel-to-dash seam.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269571899573,"sku":"QBP221975","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1300724_qbp221975.jpg?v=1771544653","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp221975","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
