Mares Quad Bungee Mount Black

TECH SPECS:

HOUSING CONSTRUCTION - Corrosion-proof, high-impact thermoplastic frame

BUNGEE CORD TYPE - Marine-grade shock cord with UV-resistant woven outer sheath

MOUNTING MECHANISM - Snaps/bolts onto the computer chassis, replacing original strap pins

SELF-COMPENSATING FIT - Automatically contracts at depth as exposure suit neoprene compresses

REDUNDANT RIGGING - Accepts two independent bungee loops to prevent computer loss if one cord breaks

• Product Type: Bungee Mount Adapter / Housing Kit

• Compatible Models: Mares Quad, Mares Quad Air, and Mares Quad Ci dive computers.

• Primary Function: Converts standard pin-and-buckle wrist straps into a double-loop shock-cord bungee mounting system.

• Material Composition: Marine-grade impact-resistant polymer housing with high-stretch elastic bungee cord.

• Color: Black (BK).

Key Advantages over Standard Wrist Straps

• Neoprene Compression Compensation: As depth increases, hydrostatic pressure compresses the neoprene of your wetsuit or drysuit undergarments. Standard rubber straps become loose and spin around your wrist. Bungee cords automatically shrink in diameter, keeping the computer snug and in place throughout the dive.

• Redundant Loss Prevention: By routing two independent bungee loops through the adapter housing, if one cord snaps, the second loop continues to hold the computer securely to your forearm.

• Ease of Donning & Doffing: Eliminates fumbling with small buckles while wearing thick neoprene or dry gloves—stretch the elastic loops over your hand and onto your forearm.

• Low Profile: Keeps the Mares Quad's large screen flat against your arm, minimizing drag and snag hazards on reel lines, kelp, or wreck structures.

Installation Instructions & Pro Tips

Step-by-Step Installation

1. Remove Original Straps: Use a spring-bar tool or small pin pusher to remove the factory wrist strap pins from your Mares Quad body.

2. Mount the Adapter Housing: Align the Mares Quad unit into the bungee mount adapter frame and secure it using the provided retention pins/screws.

3. Thread the Bungee Cord: Cut two equal lengths of bungee cord. Thread each cord through opposite sides of the mount to form two parallel loops.

4. Tie and Seal: Tie off each cord with a figure-eight knot or simple overhand knot inside the recess. Singe the cut ends of the shock cord with a lighter to melt the nylon sheath and prevent fraying.

Pro Tips for Optimal Performance

• Sizing the Loops: Test fit the bungee setup over the thickest exposure suit you plan to wear. The tension should be snug on the surface without cutting off circulation.

• Independent Loop Routing: Always tie two separate continuous loops rather than one long threaded cord. This maintains true dual-redundancy.

• Rinsing & Care: Soak the entire computer and bungee mount in fresh water post-dive. Periodically inspect the elastic inner rubber strands of the shock cord for rot or fraying, and replace the bungee cord as needed.
