Garmin Carabiner Clip for GPS Handhelds

Overview

The Garmin Carabiner Clip is a carry accessory for keeping a Garmin MOB tag close at hand on board. It uses a 20 mm quick-release attachment and includes a foam keychain that floats, giving crew a simple way to secure the tag to clothing, a PFD, a gear loop, or a pocket while underway.

This is a non-electrical accessory, so there is no 12V or 24V wiring, fuse sizing, NMEA connection, or network setup to plan. Its job is practical and direct: keep the MOB tag accessible during docking, fishing, coastal cruising, offshore passages, or any time a crew member needs a tag positioned where it can be reached quickly.

Key features

• Made for Garmin MOB tag carry, with a carabiner format that can attach to common gear points on board.
• 20 mm quick-release attachment helps the MOB tag come off the clip without removing the whole carry setup.
• Foam keychain floats, which helps with visibility and recovery if the accessory is dropped around the cockpit, deck, or dock.
• No power, wiring, or marine network connection required.
• Available in black or white to match the tag, gear, or preferred onboard color setup.

Variants

This Garmin Carabiner Clip is offered in two color configurations for MOB tag use.

The carry function, 20 mm quick-release attachment, and floating foam keychain remain consistent across the color options. The difference is the color matched to the MOB tag setup.

• 010-13401-21: Black. The black version has a low-profile look that blends well with dark PFDs, foul-weather gear, and black onboard accessories.
• 010-13401-20: White. The white version is easier to spot against darker bags, clothing, and cockpit surfaces.

Installation and use

Attach the MOB tag to the 20 mm quick-release point, then clip the carabiner to a secure location that stays with the person wearing or carrying the tag. Common onboard locations include a PFD attachment point, belt loop, jacket loop, dry bag, or crew gear kept within reach.

The foam keychain gives another carry option when clipping is not convenient. It can sit in a pocket or be kept with small personal safety items, while still giving the accessory some flotation if it goes overboard during handling.

Compatibility and fit

This accessory is for Garmin MOB tags rather than chartplotters, handheld GPS units, or general marine electronics. It is a good match for boats using Garmin MOB safety gear where crew need a straightforward way to carry the tag during active time on deck.
