Sada pro zapuštění MB-132

The Icom MB-132 flush-mount kit is a mounting accessory designed for the flush installation of Icom marine VHF stations on a dashboard or bulkhead. It allows the radio to be integrated directly into the helm console, providing a clean finish.

The MB-132 kit is used to integrate your Icom fixed VHF radio neatly and functionally into your helm console. It replaces the traditional bracket mounting, providing a flush finish and reducing the unit's footprint at the helm station.

Using the MB-132 kit provides several benefits:

Flush-mounted and aesthetically integrated into the console. Reduced physical footprint of the VHF at the helm. Enhanced protection of the radio chassis against mechanical shocks or accidental snags. Maintained watertightness standards of the radio’s front panel.

Yes, the MB-132 flush-mount kit is an accessory from Icom, specifically designed for their marine VHF radiotelephones.

No, the MB-132 flush-mount kit is a separately sold accessory. It is designed to be used with compatible fixed Icom VHF radios, which are not included.

The MB-132 flush-mount kit is strictly compatible with the following Icom fixed VHF models:

IC-M323IC-M423GEIC-M506

No, the MB-132 kit is not compatible with the IC-M330GE model. The IC-M330GE uses a different flush-mounting kit, the MBF-5.

No, the MB-132 kit is not suitable for the IC-M510E model. The IC-M510E requires a specific flush-mount kit, the MBF-7.

No, the MB-132 flush-mount kit is developed exclusively for Icom compatible VHF radios. Its threading and mounting brackets are specific to these units, ensuring optimal structural rigidity.

No, the MB-132 kit is not compatible with all Icom fixed VHF radios. It is specifically designed for certain compact models, such as the IC-M323, IC-M423GE, and IC-M506. It is important to verify the compatibility of your VHF model before purchasing.

The MB-132 kit is secured by a clamping system operated from the rear of the console. This mechanism ensures uniform pressure of the radio’s front panel against the cutout wall, guaranteeing a solid hold.

Yes, installing the MB-132 kit requires cutting a precise opening in your dashboard or console bulkhead to recess the VHF and the kit.

The available information does not specify whether a cutting template is included. It is recommended to refer to the installation manual of your compatible Icom VHF for the exact dimensions of the required cutout.

Installing the MB-132 flush-mount kit for your Icom VHF radio involves several key steps to ensure a secure and flush integration:

Surface preparation: The first step is to cut a precise opening in your boat's dashboard or bulkhead. This cutout must match the exact dimensions of the compatible Icom VHF radio housing and the MB-132 kit for a perfect fit.

Inserting the VHF radio: Once the cutout is made, the VHF radio is inserted from the front into the prepared opening.

Secure fastening: The MB-132 kit is then positioned and used to tighten and firmly secure the VHF radio from the rear of the console. This rear-mounted clamping mechanism ensures uniform pressure on the radio's front panel, keeping it flush with the dashboard surface and maintaining the panel's waterproofing standards (up to IPX8 depending on the installed VHF model), protecting the cockpit interior from water or spray ingress.

This mounting method provides an integrated and aesthetically clean finish, distinct from standard bracket mounting.

Although specific tools are not listed, installing a flush-mount kit typically requires measuring tools (tape measure, pencil), cutting tools (jigsaw or rotary tool), and fastening tools (screwdriver).

Yes, the MB-132 kit is designed to lock compatible Icom VHF radios, ensuring optimal structural rigidity against marine vibrations, thereby protecting your VHF.

The MB-132 kit offers flush or surface-mounted installation. This means the VHF is integrated directly into the dashboard or bulkhead surface, with only its front panel visible.
