Enhance your boating experience with the Raymarine Element 7 Surface Mount Kit, designed specifically for seamless integration of your 7-inch Element display. This sturdy mounting solution transforms your marine electronics setup, offering a clean, professional look while ensuring rock-solid stability against the rigors of open water.

Why Choose the Element 7 Surface Mount Kit for Your Vessel

Crafted from high-grade marine materials, this kit withstands harsh saltwater environments, UV exposure, and constant vibrations from rough seas. Unlike basic brackets, it provides adjustable tilt and swivel options, letting you position your chartplotter or fishfinder screen for optimal viewing from the helm—whether you're navigating coastal waters or chasing trophy fish offshore.

• Precision Fit: Tailored exclusively for the Element 7-inch models, ensuring a flush, secure attachment without wobbles or gaps.
• Easy Upgrades: Ideal for retrofitting older consoles or customizing new builds, saving time and hassle during installation.
• Ergonomic Design: Reduces glare and improves readability, helping you stay focused on the water ahead.
• Corrosion-Resistant: Powder-coated finish and stainless steel hardware fight off rust, promising years of reliable performance.

Streamlined Installation Guide

Setting up your Element 7 display has never been simpler. Gather basic tools like a drill, screwdriver, and marine sealant, then follow these pro tips for a pro-grade result:

1. Prep the Surface: Clean and dry your mounting area. Measure twice to confirm template alignment—precision here prevents headaches later.
2. Drill and Secure: Use the provided template for pilot holes. Apply sealant around screws to block water intrusion, a common oversight on boats.
3. Attach the Bracket: Snap the Element display into the gimbal cradle, then lock it to the surface mount. Test swivel range for your preferred angle.
4. Cable Management: Route power and data cables through built-in channels to keep your console tidy and snag-free.
5. Final Check: Power up and calibrate. Tighten all fasteners after a sea trial to account for any settling.

Pro Tip: In high-vibration areas like center consoles, add lock washers for extra hold. Most installs wrap up in under an hour, even for DIYers.

Real-World Performance on the Water

Anglers and cruisers alike rave about how this mount elevates their setup. Picture scanning sonar returns at a glance during a dawn patrol, or plotting waypoints without straining your neck on long passages. It's not just a bracket—it's the foundation for safer, more intuitive navigation. Pair it with your Element's HybridTouch controls for effortless glove-friendly operation in wet conditions.

Durability shines in testing: It handles 20-knot winds and 4-foot chops without budging, outperforming generic alternatives that loosen over time. For multi-display setups, it aligns perfectly with twin stations or companion screens.

Maintenance for Longevity

Keep it performing like new with minimal effort. Rinse with fresh water after every saltwater outing to flush corrosive residue. Inspect screws seasonally and reapply sealant as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners—mild soap does the trick. This routine extends life beyond factory specs, making it a smart long-term investment for serious boaters.
