Overview

The Garmin 010-12992-00 is a bail mount with knobs for surface mounting a compatible GPSMAP 7x3 Series 7-inch chartplotter and setting the screen angle at the helm.

This style of bracket mount is useful when you want the unit up on a flat dash, electronics box, or console top instead of cutting a large flush-mount opening. The tilt adjustment helps when you alternate between standing and seated steering, or when you are trying to manage glare during different sun angles.

Key features

• Surface-mount bail bracket for Garmin GPSMAP 7x3 Series chartplotters

• Knob-secured side arms to hold the unit in position once the angle is set
• Keeps the chartplotter accessible on top of the dash for quick glances underway
• Bracket-style mounting helps with service access compared with a recessed install

What’s included

• Bail mount bracket
• Knob set

Compatibility and fit

Made for GPSMAP 7x3 Series units, including GPSMAP 723, 723xsv, 743, and 743xsv. It is intended for these models’ case and mounting points, so it will not interchange with bail mounts built for other GPSMAP sizes or series.

Installation and setup

Plan the mounting location so the unit can tilt without hitting a windshield frame, grab rail, or electronics box lip, and so cables can be routed with a clean bend radius behind the unit. On cored fiberglass, drill and seal the holes properly to protect the core. On thin panels, a backing plate or large washers helps spread load and reduce vibration over time.

Use cases on board

This mount suits boats that benefit from a raised chartplotter position, such as center consoles, skiffs, pilothouse boats, and sailboats with limited dash depth. It is also a practical swap when an existing bail mount has worn hardware and you want fresh knobs that hold angle without fuss.
