Helm Pod - for 8" screen + 4 displays or 12" screen + 2 displays

A Helm Pod Scanstrut is a mounting solution designed to install and protect your electronic equipment (multifunction displays, instrument displays) at the helm of your boat. It centralizes and organizes your navigation instruments for improved ergonomics and visibility while protecting them from marine elements.

This Helm Pod supports two main configurations:

An 8-inch display paired with four additional displays.
Or a 12-inch display combined with two displays.
