A bail mount is a good match when you want the display on top of the dash or an electronics box instead of cutting a flush-mount opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits Garmin GPSMAP 12x3 series chartplotters, including GPSMAP 1223, 1223xsv, 1243, and 1243xsv\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurface-mount bracket style for mounting on a flat console, dash, or overhead electronics box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide knobs make it easy to set and re-set the viewing angle without tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTilting mount helps keep the screen readable when you move between seated and standing helm positions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUseful as a replacement mount or for building out a second helm station\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfirm you are ordering the bail mount style for your GPSMAP 12x3 display. Flush-mount kits use a different approach and are not interchangeable with a bail mount bracket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlan for clearance on both sides for the knobs and enough room behind the unit for power and data cables to route without being forced into a tight bend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eMount it to a section of the dash or electronics box that is flat and rigid so the display does not bounce in chop. Before drilling, check that the unit can tilt through its range without hitting a windscreen frame, throttle binnacle, or grab rail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn thin fiberglass, a backing plate helps spread the load and reduces flexing over time. Seal any drilled holes to keep water out of the core, and use fasteners that match your mounting surface and the environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis mount works well on center consoles, pilothouses, and flybridges where the chartplotter needs to be angled toward the operator and occasionally adjusted for sun or changing helm positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse with fresh water after salt spray and keep grit out of the knob threads and pivot points. If the mount starts to feel gritty, clean it before tightening the knobs further.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269362610357,"sku":"QBP670627","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1299387_qbp670627.jpg?v=1771543592","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp670627","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
