Garmin Flush Mount Kit, For GPSMAP 8x12 Series

Overview

The Garmin 010-12801-01 is a flush mount kit for Garmin GPSMAP 8x12 Series marine displays, used to position a compatible unit against most flat surfaces in a boat. It gives a helm, dash, console, or electronics panel a cleaner built-in look than a bracket mount while keeping the display face easy to reach and read.

This kit is a practical fit for refits and new electronics installs where the display needs to sit neatly in the panel instead of standing proud on a bail mount. It is intended for the 8x12 Series size, so the main buying check is display compatibility and whether the chosen mounting surface has enough flat area, clearance behind the panel, and access for cables.

Key features

• Made for compatible Garmin GPSMAP 8x12 Series marine displays.
• Helps mount the display close to a flat boat surface for a clean helm or console layout.
• Useful for dashboards, electronics panels, flybridge consoles, and other flat mounting locations on board.
• Supports a lower-profile installation than a standard bracket mount.
• Good option when updating a helm and keeping the chartplotter face integrated with the surrounding panel.

Installation and fit

Before installation, confirm the exact GPSMAP model and check the mounting area for a flat surface that can accept a flush-mounted display. A clean cutout, enough rear clearance, and a cable path behind the panel are important, especially on compact helms where wiring, steering components, switches, or structural backing may sit close to the display location.

Because this is a mounting accessory rather than an electrical component, it does not change the display voltage, network capability, sonar support, or chartplotter functions. Those details remain tied to the compatible GPSMAP unit being installed.

Use cases on board

This flush mount kit suits boaters who want the GPSMAP display to look integrated at the main helm, on a flybridge, or in a hardtop electronics box. It is especially useful when panel space is being organized around other navigation gear, engine instruments, switching, or autopilot controls.
