GX Touch

This is a wall mount for the Victron GX Touch 70 display. It is an accessory rather than a display itself, and it lets the touchscreen go straight onto a solid wall. No cut-out is needed and no drilling beyond the screw holes: three screws fix the mount to the wall. That keeps the install down to three screw holes.

Our take

Needing only three screws and no cut-out, the GX Touch 70 Wall Mount puts the screen on a solid wall surface without cutting into a panel. On a boat that means a surface-mounted display you can fit without making a hole.

From our buying guide

On a boat subpart I covers, an electrical component must not ignite fuel vapor around it unless it is isolated from gasoline fuel sources. Ignition protection is the maker's statement.

Check before you buy:

  • 33 CFR 183 subpart I applies to boats that have a gasoline engine, except an outboard, so a gasoline generator counts.
  • On a boat subpart I covers, each ungrounded output conductor from a battery needs a manually reset, trip-free circuit breaker or fuse within 72 inches of the battery.
