Piedestal 51 mm

The Raymarine 51 mm pedestal (reference D027) is a standard mounting accessory designed for securing marine electronic equipment. It provides a stable base for various instruments compatible with a 51 mm mounting diameter, essential for navigation and vessel management.

The primary function of the 51 mm Raymarine pedestal is to elevate and orient the marine electronic device. This ensures optimal visibility and ergonomics on the deck or at the chart table, providing a stable vertical support point.

This pedestal provides a simple and direct mounting solution. It is a fixed mount, without the dynamic adjustment features (such as height or tilt) that might be found on more elaborate articulated arms.

The key dimension of this pedestal is its 51 mm mounting diameter, which is essential for determining compatibility with the instruments to be mounted. Other specific dimensions such as total height or base size are not detailed in the available information.

Yes, as a Raymarine mounting accessory, the pedestal is designed for the marine environment. It is intended to provide a solid mounting point and some protection against shocks and vibrations inherent to this environment.

Product information does not specify whether the D027 pedestal is supplied with mounting hardware. Check the packaging contents or plan to purchase suitable fasteners for your mounting surface and instrument.

Technical data does not provide the exact weight of this pedestal. However, it is designed as a sturdy and stable mount for marine electronics without being excessively heavy to facilitate installation.

Compatibility primarily depends on the mounting diameter of the instrument. If a device from another brand has a mounting base with a 51 mm diameter, it may be compatible. However, it is specifically designed to integrate with the Raymarine mounting accessories ecosystem.

To check compatibility, you need to measure the diameter of the mounting base of your marine electronic device. If this diameter is 51 mm, then the D027 pedestal will be suitable.

The 51 mm pedestal provides a simple and direct mounting solution. Installation typically involves securing the pedestal base to a flat and solid surface on the boat, then attaching the instrument to the pedestal. Basic marine DIY skills are usually sufficient.

While not specified, typical tools for such an installation generally include a drill (for mounting holes), screwdrivers or wrenches suited to the fasteners, a tape measure and pencil for marking mounting points.

The pedestal is typically mounted using through-bolts or wood/metal screws, depending on the material of your mounting surface. It is recommended to drill pilot holes and use marine-grade sealant to ensure a secure and watertight installation.

No, this pedestal is a fixed mounting solution. It does not offer dynamic adjustment features for angle or height once the device is installed. Orientation and elevation are determined by the pedestal's position itself.

The available information does not specify whether the pedestal is pre-drilled for instrument mounting. It is common for mounts to require drilling tailored to the specific model of the instrument for optimal and secure attachment.

As a marine accessory exposed to the elements, regular freshwater cleaning to remove salt and dirt is recommended. Periodically checking the tightness of the fastenings can also contribute to its durability and the stability of the instrument.
