Overview

The Garmin 010-10305-01 is a clamp-on handlebar mount bracket that holds a compatible handheld GPS on round tubing up to 1 inch (2.54 cm) in diameter. It gives you a fixed spot for your GPS so you can glance down for position and course without juggling the unit in rough water.

On a boat, this style of mount is commonly used on a helm grab rail, a console rail, a small craft steering bar, or other 1 inch tubing where you want the handheld within easy reach. It is a mechanical mount only and does not add power or data connections.

Key features

• Clamps to round bars and rails up to 1 inch (2.54 cm) diameter for flexible placement at the helm.
• Snap-in cradle keeps the handheld GPS seated while running in chop and vibration.
• Works with Garmin handhelds in the GPS 72 and 76 families and GPSMAP 76 and 96 series.
• No wiring required, which keeps installation simple on open consoles and small craft.
• Includes mounting hardware and installation instructions.

Compatibility and fit

Compatible handheld models include GPS 72, GPS 72H, GPS 76, GPSMAP 76, GPSMAP 76C, GPSMAP 76CS, GPSMAP 76Cx, GPSMAP 76CSx, GPSMAP 76S, GPSMAP 96, and GPSMAP 96C. The clamp fits round tubing up to 1 inch (2.54 cm) diameter, so confirm your rail or bar size before ordering.

Installation and setup

Position the clamp where the screen is easy to see without blocking switches or steering movement, then tighten the hardware evenly so the mount sits square on the tube. Once the bracket is secured, snap the GPS into the cradle and verify it is fully seated before getting underway. For open boats that see spray and pounding, placing the mount slightly inboard helps reduce direct wave impact.

Use on board

This mount is a good match for skippers who still run a GPS 72, 76, or GPSMAP 76 or 96 series handheld and want it mounted on a rail instead of kept in a pocket. After saltwater exposure, a quick rinse and a periodic check that the clamp hardware stays tight will help keep the mount steady over time.
