Overview

The Garmin 010-12990-02 is a trim piece snap cover for GPSMAP 12x3 series chartplotters, including GPSMAP 1223, 1223xsv, 1243, and 1243xsv.

It is a small black trim cover that snaps onto the front trim area of the display to replace a missing or cracked piece and bring the bezel back to a clean, finished look. It does not cover the screen like a sun cover; it is a cosmetic trim part that helps your install look complete.

This is the kind of part that often goes missing when a unit gets pulled for service work or a dash refit, so it is a practical replacement to have on hand if your helm sees frequent upgrades.

Key features

• Fits GPSMAP 12x3 series chartplotters (GPSMAP 1223, 1223xsv, 1243, 1243xsv)
• Snap-mount trim cover for quick replacement when a trim piece is lost or damaged
• Black finish that matches common GPSMAP 12x3 trim styling
• No wiring, software, or network impact since it is purely a physical trim component
• Helpful for keeping the helm looking tidy after trailering, storage, or service removal

Compatibility and fit

This trim piece is specific to the GPSMAP 12x3 family. Confirm the exact model number on your unit label before ordering, since other GPSMAP sizes and generations use different bezel and trim geometry.

Installation and setup

Power the display off, then wipe the trim area so sand and salt do not get trapped under the cover. Align the cover with the trim opening and press evenly until it clicks into place. If you ever need to remove it, work gently to avoid marking the bezel or the surrounding dash surface.

Maintenance and care

Rinse with fresh water after heavy salt spray and wipe with a soft cloth. Skip harsh solvents and abrasive pads, which can dull the finish on small exterior trim parts.

Use cases on board

This replacement trim cover is a good match for boats where electronics get handled often, such as fishing boats that are regularly covered at the dock, or cruisers that are trailered and strapped down. It is also useful after a dash cutout change or electronics swap when you want the front of the display to look complete again.
