Overview

The Garmin 010-12545-02 is a bail mount with knobs for GPSMAP 10x2 series chartplotters, letting you surface-mount the display on a dash, console, or electronics box and then set the viewing angle with a simple tilt.

It fits GPSMAP 1022/1022xsv and 1042/1042xsv 10-inch units and gives you a mount you can snug down so the screen stays where you put it when the boat is moving.

Key features

• Bail-style surface mount with hand-tightened knobs to tilt the display and hold the angle in place
• Compatible with Garmin GPSMAP 10x2 series units, including GPSMAP 1022/1022xsv and 1042/1042xsv
• Black finish that blends into most helm layouts
• Useful when you want an adjustable helm mount instead of a flush cutout

Compatibility and fit

This mount is sized for the GPSMAP 10x2 chassis. If you are moving from a different GPSMAP generation or a different Garmin display family, the side knob spacing and mounting geometry can change, so match your exact display model to the 10x2 list above.

Installation and setup

Install the bracket on a flat, solid surface with adequate backing, then attach the display to the side pivots and tighten the knobs until the angle holds through vibration. Plan your placement so there is room to plug in the rear connectors and route cables without sharp bends or pinch points.

Use on board

A bail mount like this works well on center consoles, pilothouses, and compact helm stations where the viewing angle changes between sitting and standing. It is also handy for boats that get covered or stored, since the display can be left angled down when not in use.

Maintenance and care

After saltwater runs, a quick freshwater rinse helps keep salt and grit from building up around the knobs. As part of routine checks, confirm the mounting fasteners and knob tension are still secure.
