Overview

The Garmin 010-12440-03 is a flush-mount kit for installing a STRIKER Plus 9sv display into a flat helm panel so the front of the unit sits close to the surface instead of on a bail mount. It uses a cutout template and mounting hardware to secure the display in place and keep the install tidy at the console.

This style of mounting is a good fit when you want the screen tucked into a dash, a pod, or a nav station panel where lines, rods, and gear can snag on a bracket. Plan for behind-panel clearance so you can connect the power and transducer leads comfortably, and keep the display at least 45 cm (17.7 in.) from a magnetic compass.

• Installation instructions
• Mounting template

Installation and setup

Pick a flat mounting spot with enough room for the template and for the display body behind the panel. Before cutting, check what is behind the surface and confirm you can route cables without tight bends. A dry-fit after the first cut helps avoid removing more material than needed.

If you are cutting into a cored or wood-backed panel, seal any exposed core at the cut edge to help prevent moisture intrusion. Tighten the mounting hardware evenly so the unit seats cleanly, and leave enough slack in the wiring to unplug the connectors later without pulling the display out of the mount.

Compatibility and fit

This kit is intended for the Garmin STRIKER Plus 9sv form factor and is also used for STRIKER Vivid 9sv. It is for flush mounting into a panel cutout and does not replace a bail mount or portable mount.

Use the supplied template for the correct cutout and hole placement. If you keep a magnetic compass at the helm, maintain at least 45 cm (17.7 in.) of separation from the display.

Use on board

This is a practical choice for center consoles, bass boat dashboards, and small cruisers where the fishfinder lives at the helm and you want it set into the panel rather than standing proud on a bracket. It also works well at a sailboat nav station where the display needs to stay out of the way while still being easy to view.
