Element 12 Surface Mount Kit — Product description
Effortless Installation for Your Raymarine Element 12 Chartplotter
Installing a surface mount kit like the Raymarine A80555 transforms your boating setup, securing your Element 12-inch chartplotter with precision and stability. This screw-on design in crisp white blends seamlessly with modern consoles, ensuring a clean, professional look on deck. Boaters appreciate how it handles the constant motion of waves without compromising visibility or functionality.
Start by selecting a flat, stable surface away from excessive heat sources. Pre-drill holes to match the kit's template for a snug fit, then secure with corrosion-resistant screws. The kit's thoughtful engineering minimizes wiring clutter, routing cables neatly behind the mount. In under 30 minutes, your chartplotter is ready to navigate challenging waters, from coastal cruises to offshore adventures.
- Clean and prepare the mounting surface thoroughly.
- Align the template and mark pilot holes.
- Attach the bracket firmly, then snap the chartplotter into place.
- Test for stability before heading out.
This straightforward process empowers DIY enthusiasts while delivering pro-level results, saving time and potential service fees.

Pro Tips for Maximizing Your Setup
To get the most from your Element 12 surface mount, position it at eye level for optimal screen readability in varying light. Pair it with Raymarine's ecosystem—like radars or AIS—for a fully integrated command center. Regular fresh water rinses prevent salt buildup, extending the kit's lifespan in saltwater environments.
Consider console ergonomics: Angle the mount slightly upward to reduce glare during dawn patrols. For high-speed vessels, add extra securing clips if pounding through choppy conditions. These tweaks elevate your experience, making every trip more intuitive and enjoyable.
Simple Maintenance for Lasting Performance
Keep your mount thriving with minimal effort. After each outing, wipe down with a microfiber cloth and mild soap solution. Inspect screws quarterly, tightening as needed to combat vibration wear. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the finish. Stored properly during off-seasons, it'll be ready for action year after year.
