Overview
The Garmin 010-12163-01 is a bail mount with knobs for surface mounting a GPSMAP 7x08 chartplotter so you can tilt the display to a comfortable viewing angle at the helm.
It fits Garmin GPSMAP 7608 and 7608xsv, and it also matches GPSMAP 7408 and 7408xsv. The side knobs clamp the unit to the bracket, so it stays put when the boat is moving and can be loosened when you need to adjust the angle or pull the display for service.
Key features
- Fits Garmin GPSMAP 7608 and 7608xsv (also GPSMAP 7408 and 7408xsv)
- Bail-mount style bracket for surface mounting on a dash, console, or electronics box
- Tilts for better viewing from seated or standing positions
- Side knobs hold the unit in place and make angle changes quick
- Removable mounting approach that lets you take the display off the bracket when access is needed
Compatibility and fit
This mount is sized for the GPSMAP 7x08 family. Before drilling, place the bracket and display where you plan to mount it and confirm the unit can tilt without hitting the dash brow, windshield frame, or enclosure lid.
Plan for cable clearance behind the chartplotter. Leaving a little room for the connectors and strain relief helps prevent tight bends and makes it easier to unplug the unit later.
Installation and setup
Fasten the bracket to a flat surface that is stiff enough to handle vibration underway. On thinner fiberglass or plastic panels, adding a backing plate or large washers helps keep the mount from flexing over time.
Once the display is attached, set your viewing angle and snug the knobs so the screen holds position. Recheck the tightness after the first few trips, especially if the boat sees chop.
Use cases on board
This bracket suits helm installs where you want the chartplotter up on the surface rather than flush mounted, and where a tilting screen makes it easier to see in changing light and sea conditions.
