Overview

The Garmin 010-12247-00 is a flush-mount installation kit for compatible echoMAP and echoMAP CHIRP displays, letting you recess the unit into a helm panel for a clean, low-profile finish. It includes the mounting hardware, a cutout template, and installation instructions to help you get the bezel sitting tight against the dash.

Flush mounting is a good fit when you want the electronics to stay close to the console instead of standing off on a bracket. It also helps reduce snag points around the helm on boats that see frequent movement, fishing traffic, or tight cockpit layouts.

Key features

• Flush-mounts a compatible echoMAP or echoMAP CHIRP display into a flat dash or console panel
• Includes mounting hardware, cutout template, and installation instructions
• Compatible with echoMAP 53cv, 53dv, 54dv, and echoMAP CHIRP 52cv, 52dv, 53cv, 53dv, 54cv, 54dv, 55cv, 55dv
• Keeps the front of the unit closer to the panel for a cleaner helm layout and fewer protrusions

Compatibility and fit

This kit is intended for the echoMAP and echoMAP CHIRP models listed above. Verify the exact model name on your unit before ordering, since other echoMAP sizes and generations use different cutouts and mounting patterns.

Plan for clearance behind the mounting surface for connectors and cable bend radius, and choose a spot where you can still reach the rear of the unit for wiring and service.

Installation and setup

The included template is used to mark the panel cutout and mounting points. After cutting the opening and dry-fitting the display, the unit is secured using the supplied hardware following the instruction sheet.

On cored fiberglass panels, sealing the exposed core around the cutout is standard practice to help prevent moisture intrusion. Pick a location that stays readable from the helm and is away from steering components, throttle linkages, and areas that take constant direct spray.

Use on board

This flush-mount kit suits center consoles, runabouts, and sailboat helms where you want the display to sit neatly in the dash. It is also a practical choice for tighter cockpits and fishing setups where a bracket-mounted screen would be more likely to get bumped.
