Garmin Signal Marine VHF Radio Retrofit Kit, For VHF 210/215 Cutout

Overview

The Garmin 010-13441-20 is a retrofit kit for installing a compatible Garmin Signal marine VHF radio into an existing VHF radio cutout. It is used when updating a helm, console, or electronics panel where a previous radio opening is already in place, including installations that replace a Garmin VHF 210 or VHF 215 radio.

This kit is a practical fit-and-finish accessory, not an electrical component. The adapter plate helps the new Garmin Signal VHF sit properly in the existing opening, while the gasket and screws support a clean installation at the dash or radio mounting location.

Key features

• Made for the Garmin Signal marine VHF radio series.
• Supports installation into an existing VHF cutout, which can reduce panel rework during a radio upgrade.
• Suitable for retrofit work at the helm, console, or electronics panel where the original opening needs to be adapted.
• Useful when replacing a Garmin VHF 210 or VHF 215 radio with a compatible Garmin Signal VHF model.
• Includes the mounting pieces needed for the retrofit: adapter plate, screws, gasket, and documentation.

Compatibility and fit

This retrofit kit is intended for compatible Garmin Signal marine VHF radios. It is especially useful on boats where the dash or electronics panel already has a VHF cutout and the installer wants a cleaner result than leaving gaps, trimming the panel, or fabricating a custom plate.

Before installation, compare the existing cutout, panel thickness, and radio mounting location with the installation documentation. This is important on older consoles and refit projects, where previous radio installations may have been modified by hand.

Installation notes

The kit is best suited for a careful panel retrofit during a VHF radio upgrade. Dry-fit the adapter plate and radio before final fastening, check that the gasket sits flat, and confirm that the radio body has enough clearance behind the panel for cables and service access.

Because this is a mounting kit, radio power, antenna connection, and any network or accessory wiring are handled through the compatible Garmin Signal VHF radio and its own installation requirements.
