Set za ugradnju MB-132

The Icom MB-132 flush-mount kit is a mounting accessory designed for 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.

Using the MB-132 kit provides several advantages:

Flush and aesthetically integrated installation in the console.Reduction of the physical footprint of the VHF at the helm.A higher level of protection for the radio chassis against mechanical shocks or accidental snags.Maintenance of the waterproofing standards of the radio’s front panel.

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

No, the MB-132 flush-mount kit is a separately sold accessory. It is designed for use with compatible Icom fixed 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 tabs 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 using a clamping system operated from the rear of the console. This mechanism ensures uniform pressure of the radio face against the cutout wall, providing a solid hold.

Yes, installing the MB-132 kit requires cutting a precise opening in the dashboard or partition of your console to mount the VHF and kit flush.

Available information does not specify whether a cutting template is included. Refer to the installation manual of your compatible Icom VHF for the exact cutting dimensions required.

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

Surface preparation: The first step is to cut a precise opening in the dashboard or bulkhead of your boat. This cutout must match exactly the dimensions of the compatible Icom VHF radio housing and the MB-132 kit for a perfect fit.Inserting the VHF: 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 clamp and securely fix the VHF from the rear of the console. This rear clamping mechanism ensures uniform pressure on the radio's front panel, keeping it flush with the dashboard surface and maintaining the front panel's waterproofing standards (up to IPX8 depending on the VHF model installed), protecting the cockpit interior from water or spray ingress.This mounting method provides an integrated and aesthetic finish, different from standard bracket mounting.

While 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 secure Icom VHF radios with compatible mounts, ensuring optimal structural rigidity against maritime vibrations, thus protecting your VHF.

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