Some answers to frequently asked questions...Ask a question
F.A.Q.'s for Scanpod - Helm Pod
What are Scanpods made from?
Acrylic capped ABS plastic. This makes them tough, corrosion free and UV stable.
My pedestal has a centre to centre measurement of 10” – can I still install a Helm Pod?
The back of the Helm Pod is designed to fit 9.5” or 12” centre pedestals.
If your pedestal is a different measurement, you may be able to use our Flex Mount System to install the product. For more information visit http://www.scanstrut.com/products/accessories-page.php?accessory_id=10036&type=sailboats
My screen in not listed in your Part Number search. Which Pod do I need?
Please refer to the 'technical specification' tab which will give you the information you require to see if your screen will fit.
If you are unsure or require further assistance, please contact Scanstrut.
How can I work if my combination of screens will all fit in a System Pod?
You can refer to the technical information to work out which electronics will fit into the System Pod.
As a guide, you can install 1 x 8” screen with 4 x instruments or 1 x 12” screen with 2 x instruments.
Will the new Raymarine wide screens fit into the Helm Pods?
Yes. Please refer to the ‘Find Your Part Number’ tab for your part number.
Do I have to cut the front myself?
Scanpods are supplied uncut as standard. However, we do stock a small number of pre-cut models. Please contact Scanstrut for further information.
TIPS ON CUTTING FRONTS – Use jigsaw, but slow it right down so as not to melt the ABS. Move slowly and patiently through the plastic
How does the unit cool – are there any vents?
We have conducted thermal testing at Raymarine, using their test facilities. We ran 12" and 15” Raymarine screens inside our 12" and 15” pods. They were heated up to 55°C at 5°C intervals where they ‘soaked’ at the temperature for an hour. There were no failures and the electronics continued to work.
Is it okay to drill vent holes in the Pod?
As the units are fully waterproof, there is no harm in drilling some vent holes. This will let any moisture and condensation out and let air circulate. I understand that quite a few electronics installers do this to all pods anyway.
I have a twin helm yacht, what installation would you advise for my chartplotter display?
Our Flex Mount Accessory is perfect for installations on twin helm yachts and saves you having to set up 2 displays at each Helm.
