Overview
The Garmin 010-12545-00 is a bail mount with side knobs that lets you surface-mount a compatible GPSMAP 7x2 chartplotter and set the viewing angle at the helm.
It fits the GPSMAP 7x2 family, including GPSMAP 722/722xs and GPSMAP 742/742xs models (including Plus versions). The bracket tilts so you can tame glare and keep the display readable whether you are seated, standing, or running in chop.
This style of mount is handy when you want access behind the unit for wiring, service, or seasonal removal, without committing to a flush-mount cutout.
Key features
- Surface-mount bail bracket for compatible Garmin GPSMAP 7x2 chartplotters.
- Tilting design helps dial in a comfortable viewing angle at the console.
- Side knobs lock the angle and make quick adjustments easy when conditions change.
- Good fit for dashboards, electronics boxes, and helm stations where you want rear-cable access.
- Simple, familiar mounting approach for boats that see vibration, spray, and frequent helm use.
Compatibility and fit
This mount is specific to the GPSMAP 7x2 series and matches the mounting pattern used by that family. Confirm your chartplotter model before ordering, and plan for clearance so the unit can tilt without hitting a windshield frame, grab rail, or throttle binnacle.
Installation and setup
Mount the bracket to a flat, rigid surface that will not flex underway. If your dash panel is thin fiberglass or plastic, adding a backing plate helps spread the load and keeps fasteners from working loose over time. Route cables with enough slack for tilt movement and keep a smooth bend radius behind the display.
Use on board
This bail mount suits center consoles, small cruisers, and pilothouses where the viewing angle changes between sitting and standing. It is also useful when you want the chartplotter removable for service without disturbing a flush-mount seal.
Maintenance and care
Rinse off salt spray as part of routine cleaning and check mounting fasteners periodically, especially after the first few trips and after rough-weather runs.
