Garmin Bail Mount w/Knobs f/ECHOMAP™ Ultra 2 16" Chartplotters

Enhance your boating setup with a reliable bail mount designed specifically for the ECHOMAP Ultra 2 16-inch chartplotters. This sturdy surface-mount option allows you to position your device at the perfect angle for clear visibility on the water, whether you're navigating open seas or tracking fish in tight spots.

Why Choose a Bail Mount for Your Chartplotter?

Bail mounts stand out for their versatility compared to flush mounts. They secure your Garmin ECHOMAP Ultra 2 firmly while offering adjustable tilt via easy-to-use knobs. This means you can customize the viewing angle on the fly—no tools required during adjustments. Ideal for dynamic environments like powerboats or center consoles where conditions change quickly.

Unlike fixed installations, the bail design cradles the unit, providing quick access for removal if needed. Boaters appreciate this feature during transport, storage, or when swapping gear between vessels. Constructed from durable marine-grade materials, it withstands saltwater exposure, UV rays, and vibrations for long-lasting performance.

Key Advantages for Anglers and Mariners

• Optimal Viewing Angles: Tilt knobs let you fine-tune the screen position to reduce glare and match your eye level, improving readability in bright sunlight or at night.
• Secure Surface Mounting: Attaches cleanly to dashboards, bulkheads, or consoles without permanent modifications, preserving your boat's original layout.
• Easy Adjustments: No fumbling with screws—knobs provide smooth, tool-free repositioning for immediate use.
• Robust Build: Engineered to handle rough waters, ensuring your high-res chartplotter stays stable even in choppy conditions.
• Seamless Integration: Perfect match for the ECHOMAP Ultra 2's sleek design, maintaining a professional look on any helm station.

Installation Made Simple

Setting up this bail mount takes minutes with basic tools. Start by selecting a flat mounting surface with enough clearance for the 16-inch unit. Use the provided template to mark hole positions, drill pilot holes, and secure with corrosion-resistant screws. Align the chartplotter into the bail, tighten the knobs, and test the tilt mechanism.

Pro tip: Position it slightly above eye level to minimize neck strain during long sessions. For added stability on high-speed vessels, reinforce with backing plates if mounting on thinner surfaces. Always route cables neatly through the mount's integrated channels to avoid snags.

Perfect for Real-World Boating Scenarios

Offshore anglers rely on this mount to keep sonar readings and charts in view while fighting big game. Sailors use it on cockpits for wind-vane compatibility, and kayak fishers adapt it for compact setups. Its thoughtful design supports transducer data feeds without interference, ensuring accurate bathymetric charts and live mapping.

Pair it with your ECHOMAP Ultra 2's advanced features like Ultra High-Definition scanning sonar or wireless networking for a complete command center that boosts confidence on every outing.

Maintenance for Peak Performance

Keep your mount functioning flawlessly with simple care. Rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure to prevent corrosion. Inspect knobs and pivot points seasonally, lubricating with marine grease if stiffness occurs. Avoid high-pressure washers that could loosen fittings. This routine extends usability across seasons.
