Garmin Tilt/Swivel Mount with Quick-Release Cradle, For echoMAP Plus 7Xsv, 12-Pin

Overview

The Garmin 010-12672-05 is a tilt/swivel bail mount with a quick-release cradle for compatible 7-inch echoMAP Plus and echoMAP UHD chartplotter/sounder combos that use a 12-pin connection. Leave the boat-side cables plugged into the cradle, then seat and unseat the display on the bracket when you want to stow it.

On the water, the side knobs make it easy to set the viewing angle at the helm and lock it down once you are underway. It works well on open consoles and smaller cabins where glare changes throughout the day, or whenever you prefer to remove electronics between trips.

Key features

• Tilt and swivel bail mount with side knobs for quick angle changes at the helm
• Quick-release cradle lets the display seat and unseat without unplugging the boat-side cables
• 12-pin cradle style used on compatible echoMAP Plus and echoMAP UHD 7-inch sv units
• Surface-mount bracket for flat dash and console tops where you want easy access to the unit

Compatibility and fit

This mount matches the following 7-inch Garmin echoMAP models: echoMAP Plus 72sv, 73sv, 74sv, 75sv, and 77sv; and echoMAP UHD 72sv, 73sv, 74sv, and 75sv. Confirm your unit’s connector style before ordering, since similar 7-inch models can use different cradles.

Installation and setup

Mount the base on a rigid, flat surface with fasteners appropriate for your console material and backing. Leave clearance behind the bracket for cable bends, and route wiring so the connector area stays supported and out of foot traffic. Once the cradle is fixed in place, plug your boat-side cables into the cradle and latch the display in and out as needed.

Who it suits

This setup is a good match for boats that are trailered, rack-stored, or left unattended where you prefer to remove the display when you step away. It also helps when multiple helm positions or seating layouts call for frequent viewing-angle changes while underway.
