Vestavný kit (GPSMAP® série 10x2)

This kit is designed to allow flush and clean installation of Garmin GPSMAP series 10x2 chartplotters on flat surfaces of your boat, such as consoles or dashboards. It ensures a professional finish and optimal marine integration.

Aesthetic and professional integration of your device. Optimized space at the helm station. Increased safety on board by eliminating protruding parts. Maintains device waterproofing to IPX7 standard. Precise fit that eliminates gaps and unwanted movements.

Installing a flush-mount kit typically requires DIY skills and specific tools to make a precise cut in the mounting surface. It is recommended to carefully follow the instructions provided with the kit and your GPSMAP device manual for correct installation.

While the exact tools may vary, you will generally need a drill, a jigsaw or hole saw for cutting, a screwdriver, a pencil or marker, and a tape measure. It is essential to consult the installation manual provided with the kit for the complete and accurate list of required tools.

Yes, Garmin flush-mount kits are usually supplied with a cutting template to facilitate precise preparation of the opening in the mounting surface. It is crucial to use this template to ensure a perfect fit and secure installation.

This kit is designed to fit precisely around your GPSMAP chartplotter, creating a watertight seal once installed. It maintains the device's IPX7 waterproof rating, effectively protecting the internal electronics from water and humidity infiltration in a marine environment.

Flush-mounted installation inherently makes access to the device's rear connectors more complex than with a traditional mounting bracket. It is often necessary to remove the device from its housing to access cables and ports. Careful planning of the wiring before installation is recommended.

This kit is designed for installation on flat and rigid boat surfaces, such as consoles, dashboards, or control panels. The surface must be thick and robust enough to support the device's weight and the stresses of navigation.

Yes, it is possible to remove the chartplotter from its recessed housing if necessary, for example for maintenance or an update. However, this generally involves unscrewing the fastenings and handling the device carefully to avoid damaging the frame or mounting surface.

The flush installation protects the device by positioning it inside the mounting surface, thereby reducing its exposure to direct impacts and accidental snags compared to an installation on a protruding bracket. However, it does not make the device indestructible, and protection against violent impacts remains necessary.

This flush-mount kit is specifically designed for Garmin chartplotters in the GPSMAP 10x2 series. This includes models GPSMAP 1022, GPSMAP 1022xsv, GPSMAP 1042, and GPSMAP 1042xsv.

No, this flush-mount kit (reference 010-12546-02) is custom-designed and only compatible with the GPSMAP 10x2 series. It is not compatible with the GPSMAP 7x2, 8x2 series or other Garmin models, as the dimensions and mounting points differ.

The kit is designed for the GPSMAP 10x2 series, which includes devices with specific screen sizes (often 10 inches). It fits all models in this series mentioned above (1022, 1022xsv, 1042, 1042xsv), as they share the same physical cutout dimensions.

The exact cut-out dimensions are provided in the installation manual of the flush-mount kit and/or in the technical documentation of your GPSMAP 10x2 chartplotter. It is essential to refer to these documents for precise measurements before starting any cutting.

Yes, this kit is compatible with the "xsv" versions of the GPSMAP 10x2 series, specifically models GPSMAP 1022xsv and GPSMAP 1042xsv, in addition to the standard 1022 and 1042 models.

This kit is made from durable materials designed to withstand the common and demanding conditions of the marine environment, including exposure to salt water, UV rays, and vibrations.

The kit typically includes the mounting frame, the mounting screws to secure the device to the frame and the frame to the surface, as well as a cutting template and installation instructions. The exact contents are detailed in the product manual.

Yes, the Garmin 010-12546-02 flush-mount kit is supplied with the specific fasteners required to secure the chartplotter in the flush-mount frame and to mount the frame on your boat’s surface.

No, the flush-mount installation is designed not to obstruct access to the SD card readers, which are typically located on the front or side of the GPSMAP unit, thus remaining accessible for chart or software updates.
