4.0 out of 5 stars Nice, but a tie wrap is still needed, May 12, 2006

I bought this and had it hard mounted to my little seadoo jetboat. It works nicely, but the bumping in and out of the water causes the locking mechanism to slide over to the unlocked position frequently (like within 2 minutes). The product should have been designed to accommodate this problem. I have put a little piece of plastic in the groove that the slider slides in and secured that piece of plastic by wrapping a tie wrap around the entire GPS and GPS holder. Now it is secure, but looks a little stupid.

Overcome your fear of putting screws in your dash and use this mount! Why? Because the sticky pads on the automotive version of this mount don't work!

The base may be screwed into the dash (yes, you are making a commitment) and then the bracket attaches with a thumb knob. The GPS will not fly off the dash, and operation will be a lot easier because the bracket will hold the unit stationary.

If you need a bracket for a marine application, clearly this is the one. I have also found that the base of my GPS12 bracket (also Garmin) is identical and allows me to swap between the GPSMap 76 and GPS12. How's that for legacy system support.

Before drilling, remove the panel you wish to mount to, or remove something so you can see inside - you don't want that drill going into anything critical. Yes, for some modern vehicles this may be a bit intimidating. Get a stereo installer to do it for you. I guarantee you will not regret it!

This is a nice little marine mount for the GPSMAP76. The little thumb screw holds the unit tightly in position. I have no problem with the screw becoming loose. For those wishing to use double stick tape to hold the bracket to the helm rather than drilling holes, the base is solid so you can apply the tape to the entire surface. The bracket does not swivel from side to side. Works great for me.
