Humminbird IDMK RM A19 In-Dash Mounting Kit f/APEX® 19 — Product description
Enhance your boating setup with the Humminbird IDMK RM A19 in-dash mounting kit, designed specifically for APEX 19 models. This rear-mounted bracket solution transforms your helm into a sleek, professional workstation. Anglers and marine enthusiasts appreciate how it securely fastens the APEX control head flush into the dash, eliminating bulky protrusions while maintaining easy access to advanced sonar, GPS, and charting features.
Crafted from durable aluminum with stainless steel hardware, this kit withstands harsh marine environments, from saltwater spray to vibrations during rough rides. Whether you're upgrading your bass boat, center console, or offshore vessel, it delivers a factory-fitted appearance that boosts both functionality and aesthetics.
Key Benefits for Serious Boaters
- Flush, Professional Installation: Rear mounting creates a seamless in-dash fit, keeping your console clutter-free and focused on the water ahead.
- Rock-Solid Durability: High-grade aluminum bracket paired with corrosion-resistant stainless steel fasteners ensures long-term reliability in wet, salty conditions.
- Universal APEX 19 Fit: Perfect match for all APEX 19 units, supporting their large, high-resolution displays without modifications.
- Easy Helm Customization: Ideal for custom dashes or retrofits, providing a clean backdrop for multi-screen setups with other electronics.
- Peace of Mind Protection: Backed by a solid manufacturer's commitment to quality, so you can fish harder without worry.
Perfect Compatibility and Versatile Mounting
This kit shines in setups where traditional surface mounts won't cut it. It's tailored exclusively for Humminbird APEX 19 series fishfinders and chartplotters, those powerhouse units known for MEGA Live Imaging, AutoChart Live, and precision navigation. The silver finish blends effortlessly with modern boat interiors, while the reinforced design handles the weight and torque of the 19-inch screen during high-speed runs or heavy trolling.
Boaters often pair it with gimbal covers for added protection or integrate it into multi-function display arrays alongside radars and autopilots. Its in-dash orientation keeps cables hidden, reducing snag hazards and improving waterproofing around the unit.
Pro Tips for a Flawless Installation
Getting this kit installed right maximizes its potential. Start by tracing the template onto your dash surface, ensuring at least 2 inches of clearance behind for wiring. Pre-drill holes to avoid cracking gelcoat, and use marine-grade sealant around edges for ultimate water resistance. Tighten hardware progressively to prevent warping, and test-fit the APEX unit before finalizing.
Common pitfalls? Overlooking cable routing—plan for transducer, power, and Ethernet lines early. For thicker dashes, consider spacers included in similar kits, but this one's robust build handles most thicknesses out of the box. A quick YouTube search for "Humminbird APEX in-dash install" reveals community videos mirroring this process, often completed in under an hour by DIYers.

Long-Term Care for Peak Performance
To keep your mount looking sharp season after season, rinse with fresh water after every saltwater trip. Inspect stainless hardware for galvanic corrosion, especially in aluminum hulls, and reapply dielectric grease to threads annually. This simple routine extends the life of both the kit and your APEX electronics.
