Mounting bracket (Garmin GPSMAP® 15x3 series)

This mounting bracket is specifically designed for Garmin GPSMAP® 15x3 chartplotters.

The main advantage is that it allows surface mounting (bail mount) of your GPSMAP® 15x3 device, providing the flexibility to tilt the screen for an optimal viewing angle and better readability.

This clamp is designed for surface mounting, also called "bail mount". It is an alternative to flush mounting.

No, this bracket is specifically designed and optimized for the Garmin GPSMAP® 15x3 series. It is not compatible with other Garmin chartplotter series.

No, the mounting bracket is a separately sold accessory and is not included as standard equipment with the GPSMAP 15x3 chartplotter.

Yes, the mounting bracket is usually supplied with the required hardware for attaching the bracket to a surface and for securing the unit to the bracket.

The exact reference for this mounting bracket is 010-12992-03.

Yes, the bracket is designed to allow easy adjustment of the device's tilt, ensuring an optimal viewing angle based on your position and lighting conditions.

No, this bracket is specifically designed for surface mounting. If you require flush mounting, you will need a flush-mounting kit compatible with your device.

Garmin mounting brackets are typically made from robust composite materials or corrosion-resistant metal, designed for the marine environment.

This bracket can be installed on any flat and solid surface on your boat, such as a dashboard, console, or bulkhead, provided the surface can support the weight of the device and bracket.

The mounting bracket itself has no direct compatibility with NMEA networks. It is a mechanical mount for the GPSMAP® 15x3 device, which handles NMEA connections.

Yes, as a Garmin product designed for marine use, this bracket is made from materials resistant to corrosion, UV rays, and saltwater spray to ensure durability.

Installing the bracket requires basic tools such as a drill for mounting holes, a screwdriver (typically Phillips) and potentially a wrench to tighten the fasteners.

Yes, the bracket is designed to provide a robust and secure mount for GPSMAP® 15x3 series devices, even in rough sea conditions, thanks to its solid construction and mounting points.

Garmin mounting accessories are often supplied with a drilling template or precise dimensions in the installation manual to facilitate correct positioning. It is recommended to consult the product manual.

No, this bracket is primarily designed to allow tilting (vertical angle adjustment) of the device. It typically does not enable horizontal rotation.
