Overview
The Garmin 010-12167-20 is a bail mount with hand knobs for surface-mounting GPSMAP 7x16 chartplotters, including 16-inch models like the GPSMAP 7416, 7416xsv, 7616, and 7616xsv. It supports a clean bracket install at the helm and lets you tilt the display to get the viewing angle right when you are sitting, standing, or dealing with glare.
This style of mount is commonly used when you do not want to cut a large flush-mount opening, or when you need the unit raised off the dash so cables can route comfortably behind it. Once set, the side knobs let you lock the position by hand, which helps keep the screen from drifting as the boat pounds through chop.
Key features
- Bail mount bracket for surface mounting GPSMAP 7x16 chartplotters.
- Compatible with GPSMAP 7416, 7416xsv, 7616, and 7616xsv.
- Hand knobs tighten the side arms to hold the chosen tilt angle without tools.
- Works well on a flat dash, console top, electronics box face, or under a hardtop where a bracket mount is preferred over a cut-in install.
- Side-supported mounting helps the display stay steady when the boat is vibrating or taking spray at the helm.
Compatibility and fit
This mount is intended for the GPSMAP 7x16 family. Match your chartplotter model number to the compatible list before ordering, since mounts across GPSMAP sizes and generations are not interchangeable even when screens look similar.
Installation and setup
Mount the base to a solid, flat surface with fasteners appropriate for your dash material, and use a backing plate on thin fiberglass panels so the mount stays rigid over time. Leave clearance on both sides for the knobs and for the display to tilt through its range without hitting a windshield frame, grab rail, or overhead.
Plan cable routing before drilling so power and network leads can bend gently behind the unit and remain strain-free when the screen angle is adjusted. In exposed helms, sealing the fastener holes helps keep water from wicking into the core of the panel.
Use cases on board
This bracket is a good match for skippers who want a 16-inch GPSMAP on top of the dash with easy angle changes as light conditions shift, or for installs where flush mounting is not practical due to space behind the panel. It also suits boats that see regular vibration and need a mount that can be snugged down quickly by hand.
Maintenance and care
Rinse off salt residue and wipe with mild soap and water as needed. Periodically check fastener tightness and confirm the knobs stay snug after long runs, especially on boats that spend time offshore or in heavy chop.
