Overview

The Garmin 010-11680-00 is a protective cover that fits snugly over the display of echo 200, echo 500c, and echo 550c fishfinders to help protect them when they are not in use. It is a simple way to keep the face of the unit covered between trips, whether the boat is stored at the dock, on a lift, or on a trailer. Box dimensions are 1 in H x 7 in W x 9 in L, with a listed weight of 0.2 lb.

This cover is meant for day to day protection when the fishfinder is powered off, such as during storage, trailering, or when the boat is tied up. It does not change your wiring or transducer setup, and it installs by slipping over the front of the display when you are done using the unit.

• Listed weight: 0.2 lb

Compatibility and fit

Intended for the echo family that shares this housing size, including echo 200, echo 201, echo 201dv, echo 500c, echo 501c, echo 550c, echo 551c, and echo 551dv. Fit on other Garmin models outside this group is not guaranteed, so match your unit model to the list above before ordering.

Installation and setup

Slide the cover over the front of the fishfinder when you are finished using it and remove it before powering up and running the unit. If the display has been hit with spray, a quick wipe down and a moment to dry before covering helps prevent salt residue from building up on the screen.

Use cases on board

This cover makes sense for small boats and center consoles where the fishfinder sits exposed at the helm, as well as for skiffs and aluminum rigs that see frequent trailering. It is also a good match for anyone who keeps their echo unit mounted between trips and wants a quick way to keep the display face covered during storage.

Maintenance and care

Rinse off salt and dust as needed and let the cover dry before storing it in a locker. Keeping grit off the inside surface helps avoid rubbing marks on the screen over time.
