How do you choose fish finder locks?
Match the exact fish finder model, gimbal bracket and screw thread before comparing lock features. Then check the housing clearance and access to the locking points. A Garmin, Humminbird or Lowrance brand name alone does not establish that a particular lock will fit.
A fish finder lock adds a physical deterrent at a compatible mounting connection. It does not make the display, bracket or boat theft-proof. This guide explains the checks for the NIWNIW oval fish finder locks, black 2-pack and its mounting requirements.
1. Identify the display and its actual bracket
Record the display's exact model and the gimbal bracket being used. An aftermarket bracket or changed mounting arrangement can matter as much as the electronics brand. Compare the mounting points with the exact product photographs; a lock for a gimbal connection should not be assumed to secure a different quick-release base.
2. Confirm the screw thread before installation
The thread must match the actual mounting connection. Similar-looking knobs can use different threads. Use the equipment documentation or ask support with the exact model and bracket details if you cannot confirm the match. Do not force a threaded part or modify the mount to make an unconfirmed combination fit.
NIWNIW currently describes compatibility with select Garmin, Humminbird and Lowrance gimbal mounts. That does not mean every display from those brands is supported. Confirm the exact connection before ordering.
3. Check the space around both locking points
Compare the lock housing with the bracket, screen, dash and nearby accessories. The diagram labels the oval lock body at 1.68 in high, 1.17 in wide and 1.02 in deep. These body dimensions do not establish the required thread size or a universal mounting allowance.
- Housing space: compare the orientation in the product diagrams with your bracket.
- Operating access: allow room to install, lock and unlock the parts as instructed.
- Display adjustment: check the intended viewing position and surrounding components for interference.
- Both mounting points: the package contains two locks; confirm their fit at the intended locations individually.
What are the dimensions in the fish finder lock diagram?
The product drawing labels the oval body at 1.68 in high, 1.17 in wide and 1.02 in deep. Use the drawing orientation when comparing the bracket space. These body measurements do not identify the screw thread or the installed projection of the mounting hardware.
Does the mounting hardware make it universal?
No. The hardware image shows multiple fasteners and spacers, but it does not label their thread specifications. Match the actual thread, bracket and available space; do not infer compatibility from the number of fasteners.

What to send for a compatibility check
Send the display model, bracket make or part number, clear photographs of the mounting connection and nearby space, and any confirmed thread specification through Contact NIWNIW. If fit remains uncertain, wait for confirmation before ordering. The equipment instructions and exact product details take priority over this buying guide.
Common questions
Will these fit every Garmin, Humminbird or Lowrance fish finder?
No. The stated application covers select gimbal mounts. Exact model, thread, bracket and clearance still need checking.
Does “2-pack” mean two complete fish finder installations?
It means two locks are supplied. How many are required depends on the compatible mounting arrangement; do not infer the number of complete installations from the pack count alone.
Can a fish finder lock guarantee theft prevention?
No. It adds a physical deterrent at the compatible connection. The mounting hardware and the rest of the installation also matter.
