Overview

The Garmin 010-10747-00 is a suction cup mount that secures a compatible Garmin portable navigator to a windshield or another surface that is smooth and flat.

On a boat, it is a simple way to position a screen at the helm without drilling holes, especially on glass or acrylic where a suction seal can hold. It is listed for Garmin aera 5xx Series, nüLink! 16xx LIVE Series, StreetPilot Series, SafeNav Powered by Garmin, nüvi Series, and zumo 550, 660 & 660LM Series devices.

The device mount is not included, so this part is meant to be used with the compatible mount that fits your specific unit.

Key features

• Suction cup attachment for windshields and other smooth, flat mounting surfaces.
• Compatible with aera 5xx Series, nüLink! 16xx LIVE Series, StreetPilot Series, SafeNav Powered by Garmin, nüvi Series, and zumo 550, 660 & 660LM Series.
• Mount not included, so it pairs with the appropriate device mount for your model.
• Tool-free removal makes it easy to stow the display when you leave the boat or move the unit between locations.

Compatibility and fit

Confirm your Garmin device is in the supported families listed above, and confirm you have the matching device mount for that model. This item is the suction cup base, and fit at the device side depends on the mount style used by your specific Garmin unit.

Suction mounting works best on rigid surfaces that stay smooth and flat. Textured gelcoat, vinyl, and non-skid typically do not allow a reliable seal.

Installation and setup

Clean the mounting area so it is free of dust, sunscreen film, and salt residue, then dry it completely before pressing the suction cup into place. After mounting, give the base a firm tug and a gentle twist to confirm it is holding before getting underway.

For best results in a marine cockpit, place it where it is protected from constant spray and where the surface does not flex with vibration.

Use on board

This mount is a good match for boaters who run a portable Garmin navigator at the helm and want a removable setup for day trips, rentals, or boats where permanent mounting is not wanted. It is also handy when the same unit moves between a tow vehicle and the boat.

As with any suction mount, recheck the seal after big temperature changes and after washdowns, and stow the device when the boat is unattended.
