Overview

The Garmin 010-12237-01 is a protective cover made specifically for the GNX 130 instrument display when it is not in use. It covers the face of the unit to help keep sun, salt spray, and dockside grime off the screen and bezel while the boat is moored, trailered, or stored.

This is a simple, passive accessory with no wiring and no impact on your vessel’s 12 V or 24 V electrical system, network connections, or instrument setup. Remove the cover before operating the GNX 130 so the display and keys remain fully accessible.

Key features

• Fit is specific to the Garmin GNX 130 instrument display
• Covers the instrument face while the unit is not in use to limit exposure to sun and spray
• Helps keep dust and salt residue from building up on the screen between trips
• No power or network connection required
• Useful for exposed helm stations, flybridges, and boats stored outdoors

Compatibility and fit

This cover is intended for the GNX 130. If your display is a different GNX model or another Garmin instrument series, the shape and sizing can be different even when the units look similar on the dash.

Use on board

It’s a practical add-on for sailboats and powerboats where the instrument is mounted in a cockpit pod or at the helm and stays exposed between outings. It also makes sense for boats that live on a trailer or in a slip where sun and salt film can collect quickly on electronics.

Care and handling

Before fitting the cover, wipe the display face so grit is not trapped between the cover and the lens. If the cover gets hit with salt spray, rinse it with fresh water and let it dry before putting it back on for long-term storage.
