Overview

The Garmin Protective Cover for GPSMAP x3 Series is a fitted cover that sits over the front of your chartplotter display when the boat is not in use, helping limit scratches and sun exposure at the helm.

It is offered in four sizes (7", 9", 12", and 16"). Match the cover to your GPSMAP x3 model family so it fits the bezel correctly and stays put while the boat is docked, trailered, or under a cover.

Key features

• Covers the display face to help reduce sun exposure and prevent incidental scratches when stored.
• Fits snugly over the screen area and lifts off quickly when you are ready to use the unit.
• Size-specific options for 7", 9", 12", and 16" GPSMAP x3 displays.
• Adds a barrier against fingerprints, dust, and everyday dock grime between trips.
• Handy for boats kept in a slip or on a trailer where the helm spends long hours in direct sun.

Variants

This cover is offered in multiple sizes to match different GPSMAP x3 chartplotter displays.

The part number and size below indicate the compatible GPSMAP models for each cover.

• 010-12989-00 (Size 7") for GPSMAP 723, 723xsv, 743, and 743xsv. Use this size when your helm unit is from the 7x3 family.
• 010-12989-01 (Size 9") for GPSMAP 923, 923xsv, 943, and 943xsv. This version matches the 9x3 display housing.
• 010-12989-02 (Size 12") for GPSMAP 1223, 1223xsv, 1243, and 1243xsv. Sized for the 12x3 units so it seats cleanly around the bezel.
• 010-12989-03 (Size 16") for GPSMAP 1623, 1623xsv, 1643, and 1643xsv. Built for the larger 16x3 displays at the helm.

Compatibility and fit

These covers are specific to the GPSMAP x3 housings. Confirm your chartplotter model number on the unit, then match it to the compatible devices listed in the Variants section.

Because the fit is size-matched, a cover meant for a different screen size will not seat correctly, even within the same x3 generation.

Installation and day-to-day use

Press the cover over the front of the display until it sits flush around the bezel. Remove the cover before powering up the unit or using touch controls.

This is a good match for boaters who leave electronics exposed at the helm between trips, especially in strong sun at the dock or while trailering.

Care and cleaning

Rinse with fresh water if it gets salt on it, then wipe with a soft cloth. Skip abrasive pads and harsh cleaners that can dull the surface over time.
