Overview

The Garmin 010-12842-01 is a protective cover that fits over a 12-inch ECHOMAP Ultra display when the unit is not in use. It helps keep the screen and front controls from taking the hit from sun exposure, salt spray, dock dust, and the little knocks that happen around a busy helm.

The cover attaches and removes quickly, so it is easy to use between trips or before trailering. Packaged shipping size is approximately 1 in H x 10 in W x 14 in L, with a listed weight around 0.6 lb.

• Lightweight accessory for storage and shipping, packaged at roughly 1 in x 10 in x 14 in

Compatibility and fit

This cover is sized for the Garmin ECHOMAP Ultra 12-inch housing. Covers for other ECHOMAP sizes and newer series use different fitment, so matching the screen size and model family is the key check before ordering.

Installation and everyday use

Before installing the cover, wipe any grit or dried salt off the screen and bezel so it does not rub against the face. Press the cover on evenly, and remove it before powering up and operating the chartplotter. If the boat is stored outdoors, a quick fresh-water rinse of the cover now and then helps keep salt and dust from building up.

Maintenance and care

Rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure and let it dry before long-term storage. Avoid harsh solvents and abrasive pads that can scuff the cover and transfer marks to the display area.

Use cases on board

This is a practical add-on for boats that live on a trailer, sit on a lift, or spend time in a slip where the helm stays exposed between trips. It is also useful on fishing boats and center consoles where rods, tackle, and deck traffic are constantly moving past the electronics.
