Garmin Bail Mount w/Knobs f/8x10

The Garmin Bail Mount with Knobs for 8x10 (MPN: 010-12798-00) is a surface-mount system designed specifically for Garmin GPSMAP chartplotters in the 8x10 display size range. This mount secures your marine GPS unit with a bail-style retention system and integrated adjustment knobs, enabling precise positioning for optimal chart visibility from the helm.

The tilt-adjustable design addresses a critical requirement for marine electronics: the ability to compensate for mounting location glare, water spray, and viewing angle variability across different vessel layouts and helm configurations. The knob-based adjustment mechanism provides secure, tool-free fine-tuning without requiring remounting. At 2.4 lbs, the mount remains lightweight while delivering rigid support for an 8x10 display unit in dynamic boating conditions where vibration, engine torque, and sea state movement demand stable electronics mounting.

This mount serves both recreational anglers running coastal or inland waters and serious offshore operators who depend on GPSMAP units for navigation, fish finding, and collision avoidance. Bail mounts are the standard retention choice for chart-plotting systems on center consoles, open boats, and cabin-equipped vessels where flush mounting or integrated dash installation isn't feasible. The Garmin Bail Mount with Knobs integrates directly with Garmin's GPSMAP ecosystem, ensuring electrical and mechanical compatibility across the manufacturer's 8x10 display lineup.

Marine-grade electronics mounting demands corrosion-resistant construction and reliable fastening systems. Verify mounting location, through-bolt capacity, and cable routing clearance before installation. Keep fasteners and adjustment knobs in fresh condition through regular freshwater rinsing after saltwater operation to prevent corrosion and ensure long-term adjustment stability.
