It hardwires to a DC supply from 10 to 50 V, which covers typical 12 V and 24 V onboard systems, and brings the Montana into a fixed cradle so it stays powered while you run.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a practical way to keep a Montana where you can see it from the helm, inside a pilothouse, at a secondary console, or on a tender. The mount uses a locking cradle with a security screw and includes a weather cap so the contact area can be kept dry when the device is not seated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBare-wire power leads for direct connection to 10 to 50 V DC, fitting common 12 V and 24 V electrical systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRugged cradle with a security screw to help keep the Montana seated when the boat is bouncing or vibrating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerial data wiring available for a wired data connection when your setup calls for it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio jack lead for routing device audio to an external input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware included for attaching to an AMPS mounting base, with the AMPS base plate or ball-and-arm system sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeather cap helps protect the mount contacts when the device is removed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis mount is built for Garmin Montana® Series handhelds that use the rugged mount contact cradle. Plan your mounting point so the screen is readable from your normal driving position and the cable can be routed without sharp bends or pinch points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cradle is intended to bolt to an AMPS pattern base plate. If you are using a RAM-style ball and arm setup, you will still need the appropriate AMPS base plate or adapter to mate the cradle to that system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eElectrical and system integration\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower is a simple two-wire hook-up to your vessel DC supply in the 10 to 50 V range. Protect the circuit the same way you would any accessory feed and keep connections in a dry, serviceable location. If you are not comfortable working on DC wiring, having a qualified installer handle the connections helps avoid damage to wiring, batteries, or equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cable provides additional conductors for serial data and an audio jack lead. If you are not using those functions, insulate the unused conductors and secure them so they cannot short or chafe in a moving console or under a dash.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen fastening the cradle to an AMPS base plate, tighten the hardware evenly and avoid over-tightening. A practical target is 15 to 20 lbf-in (1.7 to 2.25 N m) so the mount stays secure without stressing the hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore seating the Montana, make sure the metal contacts on the device and cradle are dry. On boats that see spray, mounting under a dash brow or inside a protected console helps reduce water exposure during runs and washdowns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWhat’s included\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAMPS rugged mount cradle with audio and power cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnti-glare screen protector with applicator card and instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 screws for AMPS mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 nuts and 4 washers for AMPS mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecurity screw tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis setup suits boaters who use a Montana as a portable navigator but want a fixed, powered spot at the helm for long days on the water. It is also a good fit for anglers and cruisers who move the handheld between a main boat and a tender and want the same style of secure cradle at each station.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse salt residue from surrounding surfaces as needed and keep the cradle contact area clean. If the device will be off the mount for a while, store the weather cap in place to help keep moisture and grime away from the contacts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52268981649589,"sku":"QBP701430","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1298822_qbp701430.jpg?v=1771541264","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp701430","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
