PP5058 PowerPod Pre-Cut for Lowrance MFD HDS-12 Gen2 Touch & HDS-12 Gen3 - Carbon Black
The
PP5050 Series, PowerPods for Power are a better option than bracket
mounting. PowerPods provide a clean look for flush mounting with the
advantage of a swivel base.
The
trunion bracket that is supplied with most electronics is not optimal.
PowerPods have the advantage of protecting the back of the electronics
from harsh saltwater spray. Most manufacturers do an excellent job of
protecting the face of the display from water intrusion with sealed
rubber push buttons. The back is generally not waterproof. They are
expecting you to flush mount it into the console or a NavPod. The
PowerPod also protects the plastic connectors and wires from
deterioration caused by long term exposure to UV.
PowerPods
for Sail are for mounting on a flat surface. Perhaps under the dodger
or aft end of the cockpit table especially on boats with dual wheels.
NavPods are manufactured with a custom co-extruded acrylic capped ABS material. We use the absolute best UV resistant material that provides a very high gloss white finish that matches gel-coated fiberglass. The Gen3 enhancements now include a thicker gauge material that improves strength and provides for better structural rigidity.
The Waterproof Seal
All NavPods are manufactured with a double gasket system providing an excellent watertight seal between the front and back of the NavPod for protection of your Marine Electronics. NavPods are made to withstand the harshest of wet offshore boating conditions. Gen3 enhancements include a thicker external silicone gasket with improved flush fit. The internal EPDM gasket is now 50% thicker and is not subject to "compression set" like many rubber compounds. This is important when you need to open the NavPod in the future to service your electronics.
The Nickel Chrome Plated Screws
We use all stainless steel mounting hardware that is supplied with each NavPod. Large round head tamperproof screws have deeper sockets for the NavPod wrench for better holding ability when tightening than the previous screws. For Gen3 we provide nickel chrome-plated stainless steel tamperproof screws for security combined with a little bling!
The Manufacturing Process
Heavy-gauge thermoforming is considered an art since many processes come into play. It all starts with the design and development of the tooling. We are fortunate to have experienced in-house design engineers who utilize CAD programs like Solidworks, Catia and AutoCad. Surfcam is used to interface with our CNC machining centers to produce quality tools with precision tolerances.
Our Commitment to Quality
We are committed to producing the best possible waterproof housing for Marine Electronics. Now with two decades of experience under our belt, we are confident you will have years of trouble free service and a long lasting high gloss finish. We will stand behind our commitment by now offering a 10-year warranty on all new Gen3 NavPods.
