Overview

The Garmin 010-11832-00 is a friction mount that sits on a dashboard or helm to hold a Garmin GLO receiver steady without drilling or adding a permanent bracket. It uses a nonskid base to stay put and a pliable silicone cradle that conforms to the shape of the dash so the receiver is less likely to slide around when the boat is moving.

This style of mount is a good fit when you want the GLO positioned where it can “see” the sky, but you still want to lift it out quickly for stowage or when you trailer, cover the helm, or move the receiver between boats.

Key features

• Made to secure Garmin GLO and GLO for Aviation receivers on a dash or console
• Nonskid bottom helps the mount stay in place without fasteners
• Pliable silicone cradle molds to the dash surface and holds the receiver snugly
• Portable setup that can be moved between helm stations or removed for security
• Works well when you need to keep the receiver up on the dash for better satellite reception

Installation and setup

Set the mount on a clean, dry section of the dash or helm top where it can sit flat. Press it down by hand so the base settles into the surface texture, then place the GLO receiver into the silicone cradle. If you are running a charging lead, route the cable so it is not tugging on the receiver during turns or in chop.

Compatibility and fit

This mount is intended for Garmin GLO receivers, including GLO for Aviation. It is not a universal cradle, so confirm you are mounting a GLO unit rather than a different Garmin handheld or a chartplotter component. For best results, position it where the receiver has a clear view through the windshield or canvas opening and is not shaded by metal tubing or electronics mounted overhead.

Use cases on board

It works well on boats where a phone or tablet is doing navigation and you want a dedicated GPS receiver to stay in one spot on the helm. It is also handy for skippers who move gear between a center console, a runabout, and a tender and do not want to install hardware on each dash.

Maintenance and care

Keep the underside clean so it can grip properly. If it gets salt spray on it, wipe it down with fresh water and let it dry before placing it back on the dash. Avoid harsh cleaners that can leave a film, since that can reduce friction and make it easier for the mount to move.
