Garmin GPSMAP 78 Series Marine Mount, For GPS 12H/GPS 73, Swivel/Tilt

Overview

The Garmin 010-11441-00 is a fixed-mount bracket that clips a compatible handheld GPS to your helm so the screen stays where you can see it while underway. It’s made for Garmin GPS 12H, GPS 73, GPSMAP 78, GPSMAP 78s, and GPSMAP 78sc handheld units.

Once installed, the mount lets you swivel or tilt the device to suit your seating position and the light on the water. A locking mechanism keeps the handheld from bouncing out in chop, and it releases when you want to remove the unit for storage or use off the boat.

Key features

• Compatible with Garmin GPS 12H, GPS 73, GPSMAP 78, GPSMAP 78s, and GPSMAP 78sc handheld GPS units
• Swivel and tilt adjustment so you can set a viewing angle that works at the helm
• Locking cradle helps keep the device seated when the boat is moving
• Release mechanism lets you remove the handheld without unbolting the base
• Fixed-mount format that suits helm consoles, dash panels, and other flat mounting areas

Compatibility and fit

This mount is intended for the handheld models listed above. It’s a physical mounting solution for keeping a portable GPS in a consistent spot, so it works well whether the handheld is your primary navigator on a small boat or a backup on a larger vessel.

Before drilling, confirm you have clearance to clip the unit in and out and that the swivel range won’t interfere with steering, throttles, or instrument covers.

Installation and setup

Mount the base on a solid, flat section of the helm where it can be reached from the operating position. On open boats, placing it where it’s protected from foot traffic and hard gear helps prevent accidental bumps when moving around the cockpit.

Use fasteners that match your mounting surface and follow good sealing practice for any holes through a dash or console to help keep water out of the core and wiring space.

Use cases on board

This mount is a good match for skippers who run with a handheld GPS on a center console, tiller boat, RIB, kayak support boat, or small sailboat, and want the screen secured and readable at the helm. It also makes sense for crews who keep a handheld ready as a backup navigator and want it clipped in place instead of sliding around in a pocket or cup holder.

Maintenance and care

Rinse the mount with fresh water after saltwater use and check the mounting hardware periodically for loosening from vibration. If the lock or release feels gritty, a simple rinse usually clears out salt and spray residue before it starts to bind.

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.
