Minn Kota GM X16 Gimbal Mount, Replacement Fish Finder Mounting Bracket for X16
SKU:
Description
The Minn Kota GM X16 Gimbal Mount (part number 740253-1) is the factory replacement mounting bracket for the 16 inch Minn Kota X16 fish finder. It holds the display on your dash, console or bow deck, and its ratcheting tilt lets you lock the screen at the angle you see best.
Why buy an X16 gimbal mount?
- Replace a bent, cracked or lost bracket
- Set up a second mounting station, such as bow and console or a second boat, and move one X16 between them
- Mount a used X16 that came without its bracket
Every new X16 ships with a gimbal bracket, so a first time buyer only needs this part as a spare or second station.
What it fits
Made for the Minn Kota X16 fish finder only, both the Control Head Only (CHO) model and the model with transducer. It does not fit the X7, X9, X10, X12 or Humminbird XPLORE; each of those has its own gimbal mount. For a flush install, choose the Minn Kota IDMK X16 In-Dash Mount Kit instead.

Frequently asked questions
Will this fit my Minn Kota X16?
Yes. It is made for the 16 inch X16, with or without a transducer.
Will it fit an X7 or a Humminbird XPLORE?
No. Each screen size has its own gimbal mount, so order the one made for your unit.
My X16 came with a mount. Do I need this?
Only if you need a replacement or a second mounting spot on your boat.
Gimbal mount or in-dash kit?
The gimbal mount sits on top of the dash and tilts. The IDMK X16 kit sets the screen flush in the dash, and Minn Kota notes an in-dash install needs an external GPS antenna (sold separately).
What is the warranty?
1 year limited from Minn Kota.
