Overview

The Garmin 010-12673-03 is a bail mount with a quick-release cradle for ECHOMAP Plus 9xsv chartplotter and sonar combo displays that use the 12-pin connection. It surface-mounts on a dash, console, or electronics box and lets you tilt the screen with the side knobs so the viewing angle stays comfortable from the helm.

The 12-pin cables plug into the cradle on the mount, so the display can be seated and removed without having to unplug and re-plug the connectors at the back of the unit. That setup is handy on boats that get covered, trailered, or stored where you prefer to pull the display after each trip.

Key features

• Surface bail mount style with side knobs so the display can be tilted for glare control and sightlines at the helm.
• Quick-release cradle built around the 12-pin connection so cables stay with the mount while the display comes on and off.
• Made for Garmin ECHOMAP Plus 9xsv units that use a 12-pin connector, helping avoid mix-ups with other connector styles.
• Mounting format suits flat dash and console installations where a fixed bracket is preferred over a flush-mount kit.
• Reduces repeated plugging and unplugging at the back of the display when you remove the unit between trips.

Compatibility and fit

This mount is used with Garmin ECHOMAP Plus 9-inch xsv models including 92sv, 93sv, 94sv, 95sv, and 97sv, plus ECHOMAP UHD 9-inch models including 92sv, 93sv, 94sv, and 95sv, when the unit uses the 12-pin power and sonar connector. Before ordering, confirm your display and cable set are the 12-pin version, since Garmin offers similar mounts for other connector types.

Installation and setup

Plan for a flat mounting surface with enough clearance to tilt the screen through its range without hitting a windshield frame, throttle binnacle, or compass. On fiberglass and thin panels, backing the fasteners with a plate or large washers helps keep the bracket solid when the boat is running in chop.

Route the 12-pin cable bundle to the cradle with a gentle bend and a little service loop, then secure the run so the connector area is not carrying the weight of the cable. Once the cables are seated in the cradle, daily removal is typically just the display coming off the mount.

Use on board

This setup fits coastal cruising, fishing, and day-boat layouts where the chartplotter lives at the helm but comes off for security or weather protection. It also works well when you want the wiring to stay put behind the console while the display is stored in a dry place between outings.
