Overview

The Garmin 010-12799-01 is a 12-inch plastic protective cover for select GPSMAP chartplotters that shields the display face when the unit is not in use.

It slips over the front of the plotter to help keep off sun exposure, salt film, dust, and dockside scuffs while the boat is sitting in the slip, at the mooring, or on a trailer.

Fit is specific to GPSMAP 8412, GPSMAP 8412xsv, GPSMAP 8612, and GPSMAP 8612xsv units.

Key features

• Fits GPSMAP 8412, GPSMAP 8412xsv, GPSMAP 8612, and GPSMAP 8612xsv chartplotters
• 12-inch front cover that protects the screen and bezel between runs
• Plastic construction that can be rinsed clean after spray or washdowns
• Helps cut down on salt buildup and accidental scratches at the helm

Installation and use

Power the chartplotter down, align the cover to the bezel, and press it into place until it sits evenly around the edges. Remove the cover before operating the unit.

Compatibility and fit

This cover matches the housing shape of the GPSMAP 8412/8412xsv and 8612/8612xsv. Other 12-inch Garmin chartplotters can use different bezels, so confirm the exact model number at the helm if you are outfitting multiple stations.

Maintenance and care

Rinse with fresh water if the cover picks up salt or grit, then let it dry before stowing. Mild soap is fine for cleanup; avoid strong solvents that can haze plastic.

Use cases on board

This is a practical add-on for open helms, fishing boats, and cruising setups where the display sits in direct sun or gets regular spray, and you want a quick cover for downtime at the dock.
