This kit is designed to enable 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. Enhanced safety on board by eliminating protruding parts. Maintained waterproofing of the device 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 precise list of required tools.

Yes, Garmin flush-mount kits are usually supplied with a cutting template to simplify precise hole preparation in the mounting surface. It is essential 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 barrier once installed. It maintains the device's IPX7 waterproof rating, effectively protecting internal electronics from water and moisture infiltration in a marine environment.

Flush-mounted installation, by nature, 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 the cables and ports. It is advisable to carefully plan the wiring before flush-mounting.

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 sailing.

Yes, it is possible to remove the chartplotter from its flush-mounted 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 the 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.
