Overview

The Garmin 010-12545-01 is a bail mount with knobs for surface-mounting GPSMAP 9x2 chartplotters on a flat helm, dash, or electronics box. It gives you a tilt range so you can set a comfortable viewing angle and keep the display readable whether you are seated at the wheel or standing to run the boat.

This mount is meant for GPSMAP 9x2 units such as GPSMAP 922, 922xs, 942, and 942xs. It is a good fit when you want the unit on top of the console instead of flush-mounted, or when you need easier access behind the display for cabling and service.

Key features

• Compatible with GPSMAP 9x2 series chartplotters, including GPSMAP 922, 922xs, 942, and 942xs
• Bail-style bracket for surface mounting on a dash, console top, or electronics enclosure
• Tilting mount makes it easier to manage glare and keep the screen aimed at your viewing position
• Side knobs let you adjust and lock the angle without tools
• Helps keep the display stable underway when installed on a solid backing surface

Installation and setup

Mount the bracket to a flat, rigid surface that can handle vibration and repeated knob adjustments. On fiberglass or thin panels, a backing plate helps keep the mount from flexing, and sealing the fastener holes helps prevent water intrusion.

Before drilling, dry-fit the display and check for clearance to tilt the unit through its range. Leave room for the power and network connectors so cables can bend naturally without being pinched behind the unit.

Compatibility and fit

This bail mount is specific to the GPSMAP 9x2 family and is not a universal bracket. Match your chartplotter model number to the compatible 9x2 units and confirm you have the space to tilt the display without hitting a windscreen, grab rail, or compass.

What’s included

• Bail mount bracket
• Mounting knobs

Use cases on board

This is a practical choice for center consoles, pilothouses, and sailboat nav stations where a surface mount keeps the display easy to see and easy to reach. It also suits installs where you want a straightforward way to tweak the screen angle when you swap between day running, night running, and different helm positions.
