Garmin VHF Radio Flush Mount Gasket, For VHF 210/215

Overview

The Garmin 010-12505-03 is a flush-mount gasket for Garmin fixed-mount VHF radios in the VHF 210 and VHF 215 family, including AIS models.

It sits between the radio’s front bezel and the helm panel to close up the small gap around the cutout. That gives the install a cleaner finished edge and helps limit spray and washdown water from getting into the space behind the console.

This gasket is intended for dash flush mounting, not for bracket or bail-mount installations.

Key features

• Made for flush mounting Garmin VHF 210, VHF 210i, VHF 210 AIS, VHF 215, and VHF 215 AIS radios
• Seals the bezel-to-panel contact area to reduce water intrusion behind the dash in wet helm locations
• Creates a neat edge around the radio opening so the cutout looks finished once the radio is tightened down
• Compresses as the radio is fastened to help take up minor panel surface irregularities
• Useful for new installs and refits when you are re-bedding a radio in an existing dash cutout

Compatibility and fit

This is a radio-specific gasket, so match it to the radio model on the faceplate before ordering. It fits the Garmin VHF 210 and VHF 215 chassis, including AIS versions, and is not a universal seal for other brands or other Garmin radio families.

If your radio is mounted on a bracket or uses a bail mount on top of the console, this part will not change that installation. It is for the style where the radio body passes through the dash and clamps from behind.

Installation and setup

Dry-fit the radio in the dash opening first so the unit slides in without forcing. Place the gasket on the front side so it sits flat between the bezel and the dash surface, then tighten the mounting hardware evenly from behind to compress the gasket without pinching it.

On textured or curved helm surfaces, take a moment to check for any gaps around the perimeter once the radio is snug. A consistent, even compression is what keeps the seal doing its job over time.

Use cases on board

This gasket makes the most sense for helms that see regular spray, fishing washdowns, or an open cockpit where water finds its way behind panels. It is also a good match when you are cleaning up an older install and want the radio to sit tight against the dash again.

Maintenance and care

When you remove the radio for service, inspect the gasket for tears or flattening and replace it if it no longer springs back. A quick wipe with fresh water after heavy salt use helps keep residue from building up around the bezel-to-dash seam.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
