Garmin Bail Mount with Knobs, Tilting, for GPSMAP 8x16 Series

Overview

The Garmin 010-12798-02 is a bail mount with knobs that surface-mounts compatible GPSMAP 8x16 Series chartplotters so the screen can be tilted for a comfortable viewing angle at the helm.

It mounts to a flat surface using pilot holes drilled with a 3 mm (1/8 in.) bit, then the unit is secured in the bracket with the side knobs. This style of mount is a good fit when you want the display up on the dash, with easy access for tilting and cleaning.

Key features

• Surface-mount bail bracket for GPSMAP 8x16 Series chartplotters
• Tilting mount with side knobs to clamp the unit in place and set the viewing angle
• Mounting process uses 3 mm (1/8 in.) pilot holes for the supplied fasteners
• Includes the bracket and two bail-mount knobs for the chartplotter sides
• Compatible with GPSMAP 8416, GPSMAP 8416xsv, GPSMAP 8616, and GPSMAP 8616xsv

Compatibility and fit

This bail mount is intended for the GPSMAP 8x16 Series units listed above. It is a surface-mount option, not a flush-mount kit, so plan for enough dash top space for the bracket footprint and enough clearance to tilt the display without hitting the windshield frame, grab rails, or throttle binnacle.

Before drilling, confirm your cable routing and bend radius behind the unit, especially if you are running network, power, or transducer leads through a tight helm pod.

Installation and setup

Use the bracket as a drill template to mark the pilot holes, then drill with a 3 mm (1/8 in.) bit. When fastening into fiberglass with screws, a countersink bit is recommended to clear only the top gel-coat layer so the gel coat is less likely to crack as the screws are tightened.

Secure the bracket to the mounting surface with the included washers and wood screws, install the bail-mount knobs on the sides of the chartplotter, set the unit into the bracket, and tighten the knobs.

Use on board

This mount makes sense for open helms, center consoles, and enclosed pilothouses where you want to tilt the display to reduce glare and keep the keypad and card access easy to reach. It is also handy on boats where different operators switch between sitting and standing positions at the helm.
