Description
PP4500-05 PowerPod Pre-Cut for Humminbird HELIX 7
The PP4500 Series, PowerPods are a better option than bracket mounting. PowerPods provide a clean look of flush mounting with the advantage of a swivel base.
The trunion bracket that is supplied with marine 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 great for mounting on a flat surface. Perhaps under the dodger or aft end of the cockpit table especially on boats with dual wheels.
The Hi-Gloss Material
- 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.
The NavPod PP4500-05 PowerPod is specifically designed for the Humminbird HELIX 7 display, offering a sleek and secure mounting solution for marine environments. Constructed from high-quality, UV-resistant acrylic capped ABS material, this PowerPod provides a high gloss finish that seamlessly matches gel-coated fiberglass surfaces. Its custom co-extruded design not only enhances aesthetics but also delivers increased strength and structural rigidity, ensuring long-lasting durability even in demanding conditions. The PowerPod’s design facilitates flush mounting with a versatile swivel base, enabling optimal viewing angles and a clean, professional look on your vessel.
All NavPods feature a double gasket waterproof sealing system, comprising an external silicone gasket and a thicker internal EPDM gasket, which together create an excellent watertight barrier. This construction ensures protection against harsh offshore conditions, preventing water intrusion and safeguarding your electronics from saltwater spray and moisture. The PowerPod’s robust design also shields the back of your device, including plastic connectors and wiring, from UV degradation and corrosion. The use of stainless steel, nickel chrome-plated tamperproof screws adds security and corrosion resistance, making maintenance and service straightforward while maintaining a sleek appearance.
Manufactured through precise heavy-gauge thermoforming processes, each NavPod is engineered with the latest CAD and CNC technology for consistent quality and exact fit. The Gen3 enhancements, including thicker external and internal gaskets, along with a reinforced structure, provide improved durability and serviceability. NavPod’s commitment to quality is backed by a 10-year warranty, reflecting their confidence in the long-term performance and high gloss finish of their products. Designed for flat surface mounting, the PowerPod is ideal for installation under the dodger or at the aft end of the cockpit table, especially on boats with dual wheels, offering a versatile solution for various vessel layouts.
Whether you need a reliable, waterproof housing for your marine electronics or an aesthetically pleasing flush mount option, the NavPod PP4500-05 PowerPod is an excellent choice. Its durable construction, enhanced sealing system, and secure mounting hardware combine to provide peace of mind during offshore adventures, ensuring your electronics are protected and accessible for years to come.
