Overview

The Simrad 000-15071-001 is a dash mounting kit for a Cruise-7 display, letting you set the unit into your helm for a flush look instead of hanging it on a bracket.

It is a good fit when you want the screen positioned close to the dash and out of the way of wheels, throttles, and lines, while still keeping the display easy to see from the helm seat or a standing driving position.

Key features

• Built to dash-mount a Simrad Cruise-7 (7-inch) display into a helm panel
• Cutout template helps lay out the opening before you drill or cut the dash
• Gasket and corner-clip style mounting to clamp the display from behind the panel
• Flush installation keeps the front of the helm cleaner and reduces snag points around the screen
• Works well in consoles that see vibration and quick turns, where a bracket mount can shift or get bumped

Compatibility and fit

This kit is intended for the Simrad Cruise-7 display. Confirm the model on your unit before ordering, and check that your dash has enough flat area for the bezel and enough clearance behind the panel for connectors and cable bends.

Plan for access to the back side of the dash during installation, since the corner clips tighten from behind the panel.

Installation and setup

Use the included template to mark the cut line, then dry-fit before final tightening. After cutting, clean up the edge so the gasket seats evenly and the display sits flat against the dash.

On cored fiberglass panels, seal the exposed core around the cutout to help prevent moisture from wicking into the laminate. Route wiring with a drip loop and leave service slack so the display can be removed later without straining the connectors.

Use cases on board

This style of mount suits center consoles, runabouts, and small cruisers where helm space is tight and you want the chartplotter to sit close to the dash. It also works well for boats that get covered at the dock, since a flush mount leaves fewer parts sticking out under a cover.
