Overview

The Garmin 010-11972-00 is a protective cover for select fixed-mount GPSMAP and echoMAP displays, used to shield the front of the unit when it is not in use.

It fits echoMAP 70dv and echoMAP 70s, plus GPSMAP 721, GPSMAP 721xs, GPSMAP 741, and GPSMAP 741xs. Once it is on, the cover helps keep sun, salt spray, and dockside dust off the screen so the display is cleaner when you power up.

Because the fit is model-specific, confirm the exact model name printed on the bezel or shown on the startup screen before ordering.

Key features

• Made to fit echoMAP 70dv and echoMAP 70s units
• Made to fit GPSMAP 721, GPSMAP 721xs, GPSMAP 741, and GPSMAP 741xs units
• Covers the screen and front bezel while the boat is at the dock, on a mooring, or on the trailer
• Helps keep salt film, sunscreen fingerprints, and minor scuffs off the display surface between trips
• No wiring or network changes; the unit stays mounted and connected
• Useful for helms that see direct sun or frequent washdowns

Installation and day-to-day use

Fit the cover over the front of the display after shutting the unit down. Remove it before operating the chartplotter or using the touchscreen.

This is a good match for boats stored outdoors, open-center consoles, and trailered rigs where the helm gets regular sun and spray.

Maintenance and care

Rinse with fresh water after salt exposure and wipe with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive pads that can haze plastics.
