Enhance your boating setup with a sleek, professional installation using the Raymarine flush mount kit designed specifically for Dragonfly 4 and Dragonfly 5 displays. This kit transforms your compact fishfinder and chartplotter into a seamless part of your helm or console, minimizing protrusion and maximizing space efficiency on smaller vessels or kayaks. Anglers and recreational boaters appreciate how it maintains a clean deck look while ensuring reliable access to essential navigation data.

Key Features for Seamless Integration

Crafted from durable marine-grade materials, this flush mount kit withstands harsh saltwater environments, UV exposure, and vibrations from rough waters. The precision-cut template simplifies the mounting process, allowing for a custom fit that aligns perfectly with your Dragonfly unit's dimensions. Its low-profile design reduces wind resistance and snag hazards, ideal for high-speed runs or tournament fishing where every detail counts.

• Pre-cut mounting template for exact hole placement
• Corrosion-resistant stainless steel hardware
• Weatherproof gaskets to prevent water ingress
• Compact footprint matching Dragonfly 4 (4.3-inch) and Dragonfly 5 (5-inch) screens

Perfect Compatibility with Dragonfly Series

Exclusively engineered for Raymarine's Dragonfly 4 and 5 models, this kit ensures plug-and-play compatibility without modifications. Whether you're upgrading from a portable setup or retrofitting an older console, it supports both CHIRP sonar and DownVision capabilities without compromising performance. Boaters often pair it with existing Raymarine ecosystems for integrated displays that deliver real-time sonar returns and C-MAP charts right at eye level.

Effortless Installation Tips from Seasoned Boaters

Installing this kit is straightforward, even for DIY enthusiasts. Start by selecting a flat surface on your boat's dash or gunnel, at least 5 inches wide for the Dragonfly 5. Use the included template to mark and drill holes precisely—pro tip: apply masking tape underneath to avoid gelcoat cracks. Secure the bezel with provided screws, route cables through the rear grommet for a tidy finish, and test waterproofing with a hose before hitting the water. Most installs take under an hour, saving you time compared to custom fabrication shops.

For optimal results in humid climates, apply a thin layer of marine sealant around the edges. This not only boosts longevity but also maintains the IPX7 waterproof rating of your Dragonfly unit during heavy sprays or washdowns.

Why Opt for Flush Mounting on the Water

Unlike bail or surface mounts, flush installation offers superior aerodynamics and safety. It's a favorite among offshore anglers who need quick glances at structure scans without bulky obstructions. Kayak fishermen value the streamlined profile that doesn't catch lines during casts, while sailboat owners appreciate the reduced leverage against waves. Long-term, it preserves resale value by keeping your electronics looking factory-fresh.

Real-World Applications for Everyday Boaters

Picture this: You're chasing stripers in shallow bays—the Dragonfly's CHIRP sonar pings a school, and with this flush kit, your display sits flush, ready for instant zoom without glare or distraction. Weekend cruisers use it for harbor navigation, embedding the unit into fiberglass consoles for a yacht-like finish. It's versatile enough for pontoons, center consoles, or even bass boats, adapting to various deck layouts while enhancing overall functionality.
