ICOM Flush Mount Kit for M424 M324 M506 VHF

ICOM IC-MB-132 is a stainless steel flush-mount kit engineered to securely install ICOM M324, M424 and M506 marine VHF radios into a clean, low-profile dashboard finish.

When you want a neat, professional radio installation aboard, the IC-MB-132 provides a stainless steel face and mounting hardware that lets compatible ICOM VHF units sit flush with your panel. This kit is the manufacturer-specified accessory for ICOM M324, M424 and M506 models, made in Japan and sized to match the radio footprint for an exact fit. It’s a single-package solution that reduces protrusion, protects edges, and gives a corrosion-resistant finish suited to marine environments.

How does the IC-MB-132 improve my boat’s dashboard appearance?

The flush-mount kit removes the bulky outward profile of a handheld or bracket-mounted radio by recessing the unit into the panel. Its stainless steel trim creates a clean, finished edge that complements other marine hardware while hiding mounting brackets and screws.

• Stainless steel face for a polished, uniform look.
• Recessed installation reduces radio projection and snag points.
• Conceals mounting hardware for a professional finish.

Which ICOM models are compatible and what does compatibility mean?

This flush mount kit is designed specifically for the ICOM M324, M424 and M506 VHF radios. Compatibility ensures the cutout dimensions, mounting points and bezel alignment match the radio so controls and display remain accessible after installation.

• Specifically fits ICOM M324, M424 and M506 front panels.
• Precise bezel cutout to align speaker, mic connector and controls.
• No modification to the radio required when mounted correctly.

What materials and dimensions should I expect from this kit?

The kit is constructed from marine-grade stainless steel for corrosion resistance and long life in salty conditions. Package dimensions are compact, and the kit includes the hardware needed to secure one radio into a standard dash opening.

• Material: stainless steel faceplate and mounting hardware.
• Package dimensions: 1.3 cm (L) x 2.0 cm (W) x 11.4 cm (H).

How difficult is installation and what should I prepare?
