Overview

The Garmin 010-12390-46 is a protective cover sized for GPSMAP 8x24 marine chartplotter displays, including the GPSMAP 8424 and 8624 series.

It is the piece you put on when the boat is sitting at the dock, on the trailer, or getting rinsed down after a day on the water. Covering the display face helps keep sun, salt haze, and cockpit dust off the screen so the unit is ready to go when you power up again.

Because GPSMAP displays come in different sizes, the fit is the main thing to confirm. If your unit is an 8x24 model, the cover sits over the front of the display to help protect it while it is not in use.

Key features

• Fits Garmin GPSMAP 8x24-series displays, including GPSMAP 8424 and GPSMAP 8624 series chartplotters
• Covers the display face between trips to help limit sun exposure and keep spray residue off the screen
• No wiring or power connections involved; it is a physical cover that goes on and off over the display
• Black finish

Compatibility and fit

This cover is made for GPSMAP 8x24 units, so it is intended for the larger 24-inch displays in that family. Match the model on your MFD (for example 8424 or 8624) before ordering to avoid mix-ups with other GPSMAP sizes.

Use on board

This is a good match for boats with an exposed helm, a flybridge, or any installation where the display is regularly left in direct sun between trips. It also helps when the boat is stored under a canvas, where dust and accidental scuffs are common.

Care and storage

Before covering the display, give the screen and bezel a quick rinse or wipe so you are not trapping grit against the glass. Store the cover flat where it will not get bent or stepped on when it is off the unit.
