Overview

The Vimar VM21603 is a 2-module Eikon mounting frame that holds modular switching devices neatly in a flush installation, so your finished plate sits straight and the modules stay supported when the boat is underway.

It suits setups built around 60 mm fixing centres or a 56 x 56 mm mounting box, and it is modular with a 71 mm distance between centres for lining up multiple frames in series.

The frame is made from thermoplastic with an untreated surface, and the honeycomb structure adds stiffness where it matters behind the plate.

Key features

• 2-module support for Vimar Eikon modular devices, with the inserts mounted from the front.
• Flush-mount support that can be installed in horizontal or vertical direction to match the panel layout.
• Fits 60 mm fixing centres or a 56 x 56 mm mounting box, with 71 mm centre spacing for ganged installations.
• Corner slots for panel fixing and central slots that help you level the support before final tightening.
• Hooking teeth make it easier to link frames in series for multi-position switch banks.

Compatibility and fit

Use this frame when your installation is based on Vimar Eikon supports and you need a 2-module position for switches, outlets, or other Eikon inserts. Before ordering, confirm the box type and fixing-centre spacing in the mounting location, especially on refits where the existing box standard may vary.

This is the support behind the cover plate, not a complete enclosure. Any sealing against spray or washdown depends on the box, plate, and gasket approach used in your assembly.

Installation and setup

Secure the frame to the box or panel using the slotted fixing points, then use the central slots to keep it level so the plate sits flat. After the support is fixed, fit the Eikon modules from the front and finish with the matching cover plate.

For a longer switch run at the helm, nav station, or a utility panel, the 71 mm modular spacing helps keep multiple frames aligned so the final row looks even.

Use cases on board

This frame is a good match when you are standardizing on Vimar Eikon hardware for control points around the boat, such as a compact two-module position in the cabin, a small control group at the nav station, or an accessory panel in the cockpit.

Maintenance and care

In vibration-prone areas, it is worth re-checking fasteners after the first few trips. If the surrounding panel is exposed to salt spray, rinse the area during routine cleaning and keep the protection focus on the cover plate and box assembly.
