Overview

The Garmin 010-12547-00 is a protective cover that snaps over the display of compatible GPSMAP 7x2 series chartplotters when the unit is not in use.

It helps keep sun exposure, dockside scuffs, and stored gear from marking up the screen and bezel between trips, whether the boat is on a trailer or sitting at the slip.

Compatible devices include GPSMAP 722, GPSMAP 722xs, GPSMAP 742, and GPSMAP 742xs.

Key features

• Made to fit GPSMAP 7x2 series housings, with coverage focused on the display area
• Quick snap-on, lift-off style cover for day-to-day protection at the dock or during storage
• Helps reduce scratches from washdowns, covers, rods, and cockpit gear that can brush the screen
• Useful for open helms and boats stored outdoors where the display sees regular sun
• Compatible with GPSMAP 722, 722xs, 742, and 742xs

Compatibility and fit

This cover is shaped for the GPSMAP 7x2 family. Match your chartplotter model to the compatibility list above to avoid ordering a cover that is close in size but does not lock onto the bezel correctly.

Installation and use

With the chartplotter installed at the helm, press the cover into place around the bezel until it seats evenly. To remove it, lift from an edge and work it off without dragging grit across the screen.

If the cover gets salt crystals or sand on it, rinse with fresh water and let it dry before reinstalling. That simple step keeps abrasive particles from ending up between the cover and the display.

On-board use notes

This is a good match for boats that see frequent dock time, trailering, or storage with the electronics exposed, especially on open center consoles and sailboats where the helm lives in the weather.
