Overview

The Garmin 010-11679-00 is a protective cover that fits over the display of compatible Garmin echo fishfinders when the unit is not in use. It helps keep the screen covered at the dock, at the slip, or during trailering so the display is less likely to get scuffed while the boat is sitting.

This is a simple add-on that goes on and off quickly, so you can leave your echo mounted and still cover the display between trips. Shipping package size is about 6 in long x 4 in wide x 1 in high, with a shipping weight of about 0.26 lb.

Key features

• Snug cover for the display while the fishfinder is stored or powered off
• Fits Garmin echo 100, echo 150, and echo 300c units
• Also fits echo 101, echo 151, echo 151dv, echo 301c, and echo 301dv units
• Quick to remove before powering up, then reinstall after the trip
• Compact to keep at the helm or in a small electronics bag between outings

Compatibility and fit

Fit is model-specific, so confirm your display is one of the compatible echo units before ordering. This cover is meant to sit over the front of the display and does not replace a mounting bracket, flush kit, or protective case for transport.

If your boat uses a portable mount or you move the fishfinder between boats, this cover is a good match for keeping the screen protected in storage while the unit is still assembled on its bracket.

Installation and day-to-day use

Slide the cover over the display when the fishfinder is off and dry. Before getting underway, remove the cover so the keys and screen are accessible, then put it back on once the unit is no longer being used.

Maintenance and care

After a salty run, rinse any spray residue from the cover with fresh water and let it dry before stowing it. Keeping grit out of the cover helps prevent the kind of rubbing that can mark a display over time.
