Humminbird GM H7R2 Gimbal Mount (HELIX 7 G4N / G3N)
740199-1Compatibility:
The "Tall" Bracket for Networking
Not all HELIX 7 brackets are created equal. The Humminbird GM H7R2 is the updated, taller gimbal mount designed specifically for HELIX 7 G4N (Networking) models. Because the G4N units have extra heavy-duty cable collectors, they require this extra height to tilt properly without the connectors hitting the boat or ice pack.
Why you need the R2:
If you try to mount a new G4N unit on an old G2 bracket, you will find you cannot adjust the screen angle because the cables bottom out. This bracket gives you the necessary clearance for full articulation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between this and the standard GM H7?
Height. The GM H7R2 is roughly 1-inch taller than the original GM H7. This extra height is critical for the G4N models because the Ethernet and NMEA cables require more room at the back of the unit.
Does this come with the knobs?
Yes. The kit includes the gimbal bracket and the two side mounting knobs (ratchet style) to secure the unit.
Can I use this on my ice fishing shuttle?
Yes. This bracket uses the standard Humminbird 3-hole mounting pattern found on almost all portable shuttles and ice packs. It is actually the preferred bracket for ice fishing as it allows you to tilt the screen back further for better viewing while standing.
