Overview

The B&G 000-12372-001 is a mounting U-bracket (gimbal mount) for installing a compatible 7-inch display at the helm so you can tilt the screen and lock it in place with the side knobs.

It fits Simrad GO7 models (including GO7 XSE and GO7 XSR) and B&G Vulcan 7 displays (including Vulcan 7R). This style of mount is commonly used for a second mounting station, a clean replacement for a damaged bracket, or anywhere you want the display above the surface instead of flush-mounted.

Key features

• Gimbal-style U-bracket lets you set the viewing angle, then tighten the side knobs to hold position underway.
• Compatible mounting pattern for Simrad GO7 (GO7 XSE and GO7 XSR) and B&G Vulcan 7 (including Vulcan 7R).
• Also used with other compatible 7-inch models such as NSX 3007, I3007, and P3007.
• Good fit for helms where you need quick access to the back of the unit for cable routing and service.

What’s included

• Mounting U-bracket (gimbal bracket)
• Mounting knobs

Compatibility and fit

This bracket is for bracket-mount installations, where the display sits between the two arms of the U-bracket and tilts on the side knobs. If you are replacing an existing bracket, match your display model name and confirm the mounting pattern lines up before drilling new holes in the console.

Installation and setup

Mount the bracket base to a solid, flat surface on the dash, binnacle, or electronics box with marine-grade stainless fasteners and a backing plate when the panel is thin. Leave enough clearance behind the display for connectors and cable bends, and plan a simple strain-relief point so vibration is not carried by the plugs.

Use cases on board

This bracket makes sense for boats that run in chop and need the screen angle to stay put, such as center consoles, bay boats, and performance sailboats. It is also a practical way to add a second viewing location while keeping the display removable for security or service.

Maintenance and care

Rinse salt and grit off the bracket and knobs during regular washdowns, and re-check mounting hardware seasonally. If the tilt action starts to feel rough, clean the contact areas and avoid petroleum-based cleaners near plastics and painted surfaces.
