NavPod GP2080-07 SystemPod Pre-Cut f/Garmin 7408/7408xsv/7608/7608xsv & 2 Instruments (3.6" Hole) f/12" Wide Guard

The NavPod GP2080-07 SystemPod Pre-Cut for Garmin 7408/7408xsv/7608/7608xsv & 2 Instruments is a purpose-engineered instrument pod designed for sailors and powerboaters who need to consolidate electronics without adding height to their helm. This pre-cut SystemPod accepts a Garmin 7400-series chartplotter alongside two additional instruments—such as an autopilot controller, VHF microphone, stereo interface, or auxiliary gauge—in a single, vertically compact housing. The 3.6-inch center hole is precisely machined for Garmin 7408/7408xsv/7608/7608xsv models, while the pod fits standard 12-inch wide guard rails, making it compatible with existing single-bend AngleGuard installations.

The GP2080 series reduces the visual and structural footprint of a multi-instrument system by stacking electronics horizontally within the pod rather than mounting them vertically at varying heights. This design approach is especially valuable on sailboats where helm space is limited and aesthetics matter. The pre-cut configuration eliminates guesswork during installation—the Garmin 7408/7408xsv/7608/7608xsv opening is already sized, and the auxiliary instrument mounting provisions are laid out for standard 2-1/16-inch and 2-5/8-inch round gauges. Mounting directly to a Single Bend AngleGuard ensures secure, stable installation with minimal rework.

This pod addresses the challenge many vessel operators face when upgrading to modern Garmin 7400-series plotters: finding room for both the chartplotter and secondary instruments without a cluttered, multi-level helm arrangement. Whether you're integrating an autopilot controller, adding redundant instrumentation, or consolidating a VHF hand mic and navigation repeater, the GP2080-07 keeps the installation clean and accessible. It's particularly suited to coastal cruisers, racing sailors, and day-boat operators who value a streamlined control panel.
