Overview

The Garmin 010-13142-00 is a stacking mount that lets you install compatible Garmin BlueNet network devices as a single, space-saving stack. It is intended for use with the Garmin BlueNet 20 switch and the Garmin BlueNet 30 gateway when you want both units together in one serviceable spot.

On most boats, network hardware ends up behind the helm, inside an electronics cabinet, or on a bulkhead where access is tight. Stacking the devices helps keep the footprint small while keeping ports and indicator lights easier to reach during commissioning, troubleshooting, and seasonal checks.

Key features

• Made for stacking a Garmin BlueNet 20 switch with a Garmin BlueNet 30 gateway
• Reduces the mounting footprint compared with installing the units separately
• Keeps the two devices aligned as one assembly for a cleaner network equipment layout
• Helps keep access clear for cable routing, service checks, and device labeling
• Useful for helm consoles, electronics lockers, and other tight mounting locations

Compatibility and fit

This mount is for the Garmin BlueNet 20 switch and Garmin BlueNet 30 gateway. If your network gear is a different model, check the device family and mounting pattern before ordering, since stacking mounts are typically model-specific.

Installation and setup

Plan the mounting spot so you can still plug and unplug network cables without forcing tight bends, and so you can see the device status indicators when the panel is open. A dry, ventilated location behind the dash or in an electronics cabinet is common, with enough clearance around the stack to dress cables neatly.

After mounting, tidy the cable runs and leave a little service loop so the stack can be accessed for maintenance without straining connectors.

Who it suits

This is a good match for boats building out a Garmin BlueNet backbone where a BlueNet 20 and BlueNet 30 need to live together, especially on center consoles and sportfishing boats where electronics space disappears quickly.

Maintenance and care

As part of normal onboard checks, confirm the stack is still secure and that cables are supported so connectors are not carrying weight. Wipe down dust and salt film as needed, and avoid spraying water directly onto network equipment when cleaning nearby spaces.
