Overview

The Simrad 000-14262-001 is a replacement VHF microphone clip for Simrad RS20 and V20 fixed-mount radios. It gives the handset a consistent place to land, so the mic is not swinging by the cord when the boat is moving.

This is a small part, but it matters in day-to-day use. A secure clip keeps the mic easy to grab for a quick radio check, a bridge opening call, or a fast response when you are docking.

Key features

• Direct replacement microphone clip for Simrad RS20 and V20 VHF radios
• Keeps the handset secured at the helm so the cord is not taking the load
• Mounts on a flat surface at the console or bulkhead using standard marine fasteners
• Good to keep onboard as a spare if the original clip cracks or goes missing

Installation and placement

Mount the clip where the microphone naturally reaches without stretching the cord. A spot near the radio face, on the side of the console, or on an inside bulkhead works well. There is no wiring involved, so it is a quick swap once you have the clip positioned and fastened.

On open boats, try to place it where the mic is less exposed to direct spray and constant sun. On pilothouse and cabin boats, keep it within easy reach of the normal operating position.

Compatibility and fit

This clip is intended for the Simrad RS20 and V20 series VHF setups. If your boat is running a different Simrad radio model or a third-party microphone, the shape and latch point may not match, so confirm the radio model before ordering.

Maintenance and care

Rinse the area with fresh water as part of routine washdowns and keep salt buildup from collecting around the mounting point. If the clip lives on a high-vibration console, check the fasteners occasionally so it stays tight and the microphone hangs cleanly.
