Overview

The Garmin 010-12798-00 is a bail mount with knobs for GPSMAP 8x10 and 9x10 chartplotters. It gives you a surface-mount bracket option when you are not flush-mounting the display, and the tilt adjustment helps you dial in the viewing angle at the helm.

This mount style is commonly used on dash tops and console shelves where you want the screen up off the surface with room to route power and network cables behind the unit. The side knobs let you loosen, tilt, and re-tighten by hand, which is handy after trailering or when different operators prefer a different angle.

Compatibility and fit

This is a bracket mount for GPSMAP units in the 8x10 and 9x10 families. Match your display model to the compatible list above before ordering, since mounts are not interchangeable across all Garmin screen sizes.

Because it is a bail mount, it is intended for surface installations where the display sits on the bracket rather than being recessed into the panel.

Installation and setup

Plan the mounting position so the display can tilt through its range without hitting the dash, windshield frame, or throttle binnacle. Leave space for connector bend radius and provide strain relief so cables are not carrying the weight of movement or vibration.

Use fasteners that match your mounting surface and marine environment, and reinforce thin fiberglass or plastic with a backing plate where needed. After the first few runs, re-check fastener tightness and knob tension as the installation settles.

Use on board

This mount is a good match for boats where the viewing angle changes through the day, such as open center consoles, pilothouses, and trailer boats that see regular vibration. It also works well when you want the display raised for quick glances while staying clear of other helm gear.

Maintenance and care

Rinse salt and spray off the bracket and knobs with fresh water during routine washdowns. If the mount starts to slip, clean the contact areas and confirm the knobs can be tightened fully without interference.
