Overview
The Garmin 010-11968-00 is a second mounting station kit that adds another fixed mount location for compatible echoMAP and GPSMAP chartplotters on the same boat. It includes a wiring harness that powers the display and supports connection to an optional NMEA 0183 network.
This is a practical way to set up a second helm position, a flybridge station, or a different viewing spot in the cockpit without moving your original bracket and cabling. Compatibility includes echoMAP 50s and echoMAP 50dv, plus GPSMAP 527/527xs, 547/547xs, and 557/557xs units.
Key features
- Adds a second fixed mounting point for a compatible echoMAP or GPSMAP chartplotter.
- Includes a wiring harness for power and data connections.
- Supports integration with an optional NMEA 0183 network through the included harness.
- Fits echoMAP 50s and 50dv, and GPSMAP 527/527xs, 547/547xs, and 557/557xs models.
Compatibility and fit
Before ordering, match the model name on your display to the compatibility list above. This mounting station is specific to the echoMAP 50 series and GPSMAP 5x7 series units listed, and mounting patterns and connectors are not interchangeable across unrelated Garmin families.
Installation and wiring
Mount the bracket on a solid, flat surface where the screen can be seen clearly from your normal steering position. For open boats or exposed helms, plan cable routing so the connector is protected, and leave a drip loop in the harness run to keep water from tracking into the console.
Run the harness to your DC distribution and make clean, strain-relieved terminations. If you are tying into NMEA 0183, route the data leads to the correct talker/listener connections in your system plan and keep signal wiring tidy and separated from high-current runs to reduce noise.
Use cases on board
This mounting station makes sense on boats with two steering positions, a nav station plus a helm, or a fishing layout where you want a second place to mount the chartplotter while keeping wiring organized. It is also helpful when the original mount is already committed to one console and you want another ready location for the same compatible display style elsewhere on the boat.
