Flush Mount Kit, Axiom Pro 16/eS16

Seamless Integration for Your Raymarine Axiom Pro 16 or eS16 Display

Transform your helm station with a clean, professional look using this dedicated flush mount kit designed specifically for the Raymarine Axiom Pro 16 and eS16 multifunction displays. Unlike generic mounting solutions, this kit ensures a precise fit that aligns perfectly with the display's dimensions, eliminating gaps or overhangs that can collect dirt or compromise the sleek marine aesthetic.

Boat owners and professional installers appreciate how this kit maintains the display's IPX6/IPX7 waterproof ratings while providing rock-solid stability against vibrations from rough seas. It's crafted from high-grade marine polymers that resist corrosion from saltwater exposure, UV fading, and extreme temperatures—common challenges in harsh boating environments.

Key Features and What's Included

• Precision-Engineered Template: Custom-cut mounting template guarantees accurate hole placement for a flush finish every time.
• Robust Hardware: Stainless steel screws and grommets included for superior strength and rust resistance.
• Gasket Seals: Integrated sealing gaskets prevent water ingress around the display edges, enhancing long-term reliability.
• Easy-Access Design: Allows straightforward cabling routing behind the panel without disassembly hassles.
• Universal Compatibility: Tailored exclusively for Axiom Pro 16 and eS16 models, ensuring no modifications needed.

These components go beyond basic mounting—they optimize airflow around the unit to help manage heat during extended use, a detail often overlooked in standard installations.

Why Flush Mounting Elevates Your Marine Electronics Setup

Flush mounting isn't just about looks; it's a smart choice for functionality. By recessing the display into your console, you reduce wind resistance on high-speed vessels and minimize snag hazards from protruding edges. Anglers and offshore cruisers report fewer accidental bumps during tight maneuvers, preserving the touchscreen's responsiveness.

In comparison to surface mounts, this kit lowers the display's center of gravity, improving overall boat balance. It's particularly beneficial for center console boats where space is premium, allowing a larger 16-inch screen without dominating the dashboard.

Pro Tips for Optimal Installation

Start by selecting a flat, sturdy panel at least 19mm thick for best results. Use the provided template to mark and cut with a jigsaw or router, then test-fit the display before finalizing. Apply marine sealant around the gasket perimeter for extra protection in high-moisture areas. Always secure cables with zip ties to prevent strain during vessel flex.

For retrofits, this kit pairs seamlessly with existing Raymarine networks, supporting Lighthouse chartplotter software updates without downtime. Regular checks on screw torque ensure it stays vibration-proof mile after mile.

Long-Term Durability in Demanding Conditions

Built to withstand the rigors of saltwater environments, the kit's materials outperform aluminum alternatives by avoiding galvanic corrosion when in contact with dissimilar metals. Owners in tropical climates note no discoloration after years of direct sun exposure, keeping your setup looking sharp.

Pair it with proper ventilation to extend the Axiom Pro 16's lifespan, as flush designs can sometimes trap heat—though this kit's thoughtful cutouts mitigate that effectively.
