Overview

The Garmin 010-12547-03 is a protective cover for GPSMAP 12x2 Series 12-inch chartplotter displays that helps keep the screen shaded and protected from scratches when the unit is not in use.

It fits over the front of the display, which is handy when the boat is sitting at the dock, on a lift, or in storage with the electronics still mounted at the helm. Keeping the cover on between trips also helps reduce wear from sun exposure and the small scuffs that happen when lines, tackle, or cleaning gear get moved around the console.

Key features

• Made for GPSMAP 12x2 Series 12-inch chartplotter displays in the non-touch lineup
• Snug fit over the display to limit sun exposure and prevent scratches while the unit is idle
• Plastic cover that goes on and comes off quickly for day-to-day use
• Helps keep the front of the unit protected during trailering, storage, or when the boat is left uncovered

Compatibility and fit

Fits GPSMAP 1222, GPSMAP 1222xsv, and GPSMAP 1242xsv models in the GPSMAP 12x2 family.

This cover is for non-touch units and is not compatible with touch-screen versions of the 12x2 series.

Installation and use

Press the cover over the bezel until it seats evenly around the edge of the display. Remove it before operating the chartplotter so the screen and controls are fully accessible.

This is a practical add-on for boats that spend long hours in direct sun or stay moored without a full helm cover, where the display face is exposed between runs.

Maintenance and care

Before installing, wipe off salt and grit from the bezel and screen area to avoid rubbing debris against the display. Rinse the cover if it picks up spray or grime, then let it dry before storing it in a console or electronics drawer.
