Navslide AS has announced that it is launching three new products that enable easy access to navigation monitors including GPS & Chart plotters for a variety of different helm configurations and cockpit layouts.

The new mounts have an adjustable arm that enables a 360° rotation of the navigation Monitor. Navslide mounting systems aid in improved ergonomics and safety for practical use of navigation systems while underway.

Two of the Navslide marine navigation mounts are designed for attachment to varying sizes of tubing, horizontal or vertical and the third mount can be used on any flat surface such as a cockpit table or on a vertical surface such as the bulkhead.

The director of Navslide AS, Tom Ueland Brataas, said, “Listening to our customers gives Navslide valuable information on their different requirements and inspires us to invest in development of equipment that improves Cockpit ergonomics for safer sailing.”

The Navslide® mounting solutions product line allows sailors to easily mount, remove and relocate electronics. The mounting plate makes installment of the mount easy and the device removal a snap.

The two new Navslide mounting products are designed to cover requirements on boats where having 360 degree access to the navigation systems is essential.  Specifically, boats with dual steering wheels often mount their electronics on the cockpit table in the middle of the steering positions. The new Navslide mounting products are designed for mounting in this position and allows for a 360° view which is helpful when using autopilot and the pilot is seated under the boat’s dodger. 

The new mounts from Navslide can be attached to any tubing varying in size from 25 to 32mm.  Navslide mounting products are designed specifically for mounting the most popular navigation systems including Simrad, Raymarine and Garmin GPS and chart plotters.

Navslide products are primarily designed for sail boats, but many of the newer GPS and chart plotter mounting products can also be used on powerboats. In 2012, Navslide is planning to release navigation mounting products specifically designed for powerboats so stay tuned!
