Overview

The Raymarine Element Sun Cover is a protective cover range made for Raymarine Element displays in 7", 9", and 12" sizes. It covers the display face when the unit is not in use, helping protect the screen and front surface from UV exposure, dust, spray, and everyday contact around the helm.

This is a practical replacement or spare cover for boats where the display stays mounted at the console, flybridge, cockpit, or pilothouse between trips. It is not an electronic accessory and does not affect power, networking, sonar, or chartplotter functions. Its job is simple: keep the Element display covered when the screen is off and the boat is sitting at the dock, on a trailer, or between runs.

Key features

• Fits Raymarine Element displays, with separate versions for 7", 9", and 12" units.
• Helps shield the display face from sun exposure when the electronics are not in use.
• Protects against dust, light debris, and minor surface contact around exposed helm areas.
• Useful for open cockpits, center consoles, flybridges, and other installations where the display remains mounted between outings.
• Easy to remove before getting underway and simple to put back on after the boat is secured.

Variants

This Raymarine sun cover is offered in three configurations to match the screen size of the installed Element display.

The fit size changes by variant. The purpose of each version remains the same: covering the face of the compatible Element display when it is not being used.

• R70727: Capacity 7". This version fits a Raymarine Element 7 display and is the compact option for smaller helm layouts.
• R70728: Capacity 9". This version fits a Raymarine Element 9 display, a common size for consoles that need more screen area without moving into a larger mounting footprint.
• R70729: Capacity 12". This version fits a Raymarine Element 12 display and suits larger helm stations where the screen face needs full-size coverage between trips.

Use on board

A sun cover is most useful when the display is permanently mounted and exposed to regular light, spray, fingerprints, and cockpit activity. It helps reduce wear from day-to-day exposure without requiring the display to be removed from the boat.

This cover range is a good match for owners replacing a lost cover, adding protection to a newly installed Element display, or keeping a spare on board for a chartplotter or fishfinder that spends long periods uncovered at the helm.

Compatibility and fit

Match the cover to the display size before ordering. The 7", 9", and 12" versions are size-specific, so the correct variant should correspond to the Raymarine Element screen size already installed on the vessel.

Before fitting the cover, make sure the display face is clean and free from grit or salt residue. This helps avoid rubbing marks on the screen area when the cover is put on or removed.
