Garmin GPSMAP 500 XS Flat Mount Kit, For GPSMAP 5x7, For echoMAP 50s

Overview

The Garmin 010-11994-00 is a flat-mount kit that lets you recess a compatible Garmin 5-inch display into a flat helm panel for a clean, flush-front finish.

It replaces a bracket-style mount when you want the unit sitting tighter to the dash with fewer snag points around the helm. This mounting style needs full access behind the panel and careful cutting or shaping of the mounting surface so the unit seats evenly.

Compatible units include echoMAP 50s, GPSMAP 527, GPSMAP 527xs, GPSMAP 547, and GPSMAP 547xs, making it a practical option when installing or updating a GPSMAP 500 XS series setup.

Key features

• Flat-panel mounting hardware for Garmin GPSMAP 500 XS series form factors
• Fits echoMAP 50s, GPSMAP 527, GPSMAP 527xs, GPSMAP 547, and GPSMAP 547xs
• Template-based cutout guidance to help keep alignment straight and the face sitting flush
• Mounting approach that requires rear access for fastening and for routing cables without sharp bends
• Helm-friendly finish that keeps the front profile neat on consoles where space around the screen is tight

Installation and setup

Pick a location where you can reach the back of the mounting surface to tighten hardware and manage service loops for cabling. Confirm there is enough clearance behind the panel for connectors and for the cable bend radius before any cutting.

Use the template to mark the cutout and work toward the final fit in small steps. This is the type of dash modification many owners hand off to a shop that regularly cuts fiberglass, acrylic, or aluminum panels for marine electronics.

Compatibility and fit

This kit matches specific Garmin models listed above. Verify the exact model number of your unit before ordering, since similarly sized displays can use different mounting patterns and front profiles.

Use on board

This mounting style suits center consoles, pilothouses, and sailboat cockpits where a flush screen face makes the helm easier to wipe down and keeps lines, jackets, and gear from catching on a bracket. It is a good match for installs where the panel is accessible from behind and you want a cleaner dash layout without changing the electronics.
