NavPod AG226 Pedestal Guard

The NavPod AG226 Pedestal Guard is a marine-grade instrument pedestal mount designed to securely support InstrumentPod and SailPod systems on center consoles and helm stations. Built from 316-grade stainless steel with a 1.25-inch diameter tube and double-bend AngleGuard configuration, this 12-inch-wide pedestal guard delivers corrosion resistance and structural integrity in saltwater environments where standard aluminum or mild-steel mounts fail rapidly.

The specifications reflect marine engineering priorities. The 065-gauge wall thickness provides rigid support for large GP2030 or GP2060 SailPod displays without flex or vibration transfer to instruments, critical for maintaining gauge accuracy during rough seas or high-speed operation. The mirror-polished finish is not merely aesthetic—it reduces oxidation initiation points and is easier to maintain in salt spray conditions than brushed finishes. Integrated stainless steel feet distribute load evenly across the console surface, preventing point loading that can crack fiberglass or aluminum structures. The double-bend design allows the mount to clear helm wheels and windscreens while positioning displays at optimal viewing angles.

This pedestal guard serves fishing vessels, cruising sailboats, and center-console powerboats where electronics redundancy and reliability are non-negotiable. Operators who rely on NavPod instrument systems for navigation, engine monitoring, and depth finding choose the AG226 to eliminate vibration-induced gauge drift and ensure displays remain accessible and stable through extended offshore operations. The 1.25-inch tube diameter is the industry standard for NavPod compatibility, ensuring seamless integration with existing InstrumentPod and larger SailPod configurations without additional adapters.
