Garmin Bail Mount with Knobs, For GPSMAP 7x08, Surface Mount

Overview

The Garmin 010-12163-01 is a bail mount with knobs for surface mounting a GPSMAP 7x08 chartplotter so you can tilt the display to a comfortable viewing angle at the helm.

It fits Garmin GPSMAP 7608 and 7608xsv, and it also matches GPSMAP 7408 and 7408xsv. The side knobs clamp the unit to the bracket, so it stays put when the boat is moving and can be loosened when you need to adjust the angle or pull the display for service.

Key features

• Fits Garmin GPSMAP 7608 and 7608xsv (also GPSMAP 7408 and 7408xsv)
• Bail-mount style bracket for surface mounting on a dash, console, or electronics box
• Tilts for better viewing from seated or standing positions
• Side knobs hold the unit in place and make angle changes quick
• Removable mounting approach that lets you take the display off the bracket when access is needed

Compatibility and fit

This mount is sized for the GPSMAP 7x08 family. Before drilling, place the bracket and display where you plan to mount it and confirm the unit can tilt without hitting the dash brow, windshield frame, or enclosure lid.

Plan for cable clearance behind the chartplotter. Leaving a little room for the connectors and strain relief helps prevent tight bends and makes it easier to unplug the unit later.

Installation and setup

Fasten the bracket to a flat surface that is stiff enough to handle vibration underway. On thinner fiberglass or plastic panels, adding a backing plate or large washers helps keep the mount from flexing over time.

Once the display is attached, set your viewing angle and snug the knobs so the screen holds position. Recheck the tightness after the first few trips, especially if the boat sees chop.

Use cases on board

This bracket suits helm installs where you want the chartplotter up on the surface rather than flush mounted, and where a tilting screen makes it easier to see in changing light and sea conditions.

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.
