Piedestal 51 mm

The Raymarine 51 mm pedestal (reference D027) is a standard mounting accessory designed for securing marine electronic equipment. It provides a stable base for various instruments compatible with a 51 mm mounting diameter, essential for navigation and vessel management.

The primary function of the 51 mm Raymarine pedestal is to elevate and orient the marine electronic device. This ensures optimal visibility and ergonomic use on the deck or at the chart table, providing a stable vertical support point.

This pedestal provides a simple and direct mounting solution. It is a fixed mount without the dynamic adjustment features (such as height or tilt) that might be found on more elaborate articulated arms.

The key dimension of this pedestal is its 51 mm mounting diameter, which is essential for determining compatibility with instruments to be installed. Other specific dimensions such as total height or base size are not detailed in the available information.

Yes, as a Raymarine mounting accessory, the pedestal is designed for the marine environment. It is intended to provide a solid mount and some protection against shocks and vibrations inherent to this environment.

The available product information does not specify whether the D027 pedestal is supplied with mounting hardware. It is recommended to check the contents of the packaging or plan to purchase hardware suitable for your mounting surface and the instrument.

The technical data does not provide the exact weight of this pedestal. However, it is designed to be a sturdy and stable mount for marine electronics without being excessively heavy to facilitate installation.

Compatibility primarily depends on the mounting diameter of the instrument. If another brand's device has a mounting base with a 51 mm diameter, it may be compatible. However, it is specifically designed to integrate with the Raymarine mounting accessory ecosystem.

To verify compatibility, you must measure the diameter of the mounting base of your marine electronic device. If this diameter is 51 mm, then the D027 pedestal will be suitable.

The 51 mm pedestal provides a simple and direct mounting solution. Installation typically involves securing the pedestal base to a flat and solid boat surface, then attaching the instrument to the pedestal. Basic marine DIY skills are usually sufficient.

Although not specified, typical tools for such an installation generally include a drill (for mounting holes), screwdrivers or wrenches suitable for the fasteners, a tape measure and a pencil for marking mounting points.

The pedestal is generally secured using through-bolts or wood/metal screws, depending on the material of your mounting surface. It is recommended to drill pilot holes and use marine sealant to ensure a solid and watertight fix.

No, this pedestal is a fixed mounting solution. It does not offer dynamic angle or height adjustment features once the device is installed. Orientation and elevation are determined by the pedestal's own position.

The available information does not specify whether the pedestal is pre-drilled for instrument mounting. It is common for mounts to require drilling tailored to the specific model of the instrument for optimal and secure attachment.

As a marine accessory exposed to the elements, regular freshwater cleaning to remove salt and dirt is recommended. Periodically checking the tightness of the fastenings can also contribute to its durability and the stability of the instrument.
