Overview
The Garmin 010-12390-44 is a protective cover made for GPSMAP 8x17 chartplotter displays (17-inch models). It’s a simple way to keep the screen and front bezel covered when the boat is sitting at the dock, on a trailer, or under a helm cover where dust and salt film can build up.
On boats that see regular washdowns or live outside, this cover helps keep spray residue, fingerprints, and light scuffs off the display face between runs, so you spend less time cleaning the screen before you head out.
Key features
- Sized specifically for Garmin GPSMAP 8x17 chartplotter displays (17-inch units)
- Covers the display face and bezel to help keep salt film, dust, and sun exposure down while the unit is not in use
- Quick to put on and remove for day-to-day use at the helm
- Helps protect the screen from incidental contact when gear is moved around the console or when a canvas cover rubs
Compatibility and fit
This cover is intended for GPSMAP 8x17 devices. Garmin uses similar naming across different screen sizes, so it is worth confirming your exact model before ordering. If your display is an 8x22 or 8x24 size, it uses a different cover.
For best results, make sure the display has enough clearance around the front bezel for the cover to seat fully, especially on tight flush-mount installs.
Installation and day-to-day use
There is no wiring or setup. Place the cover over the front of the display when the unit is off, then remove it before getting underway. If you rinse the helm, let the screen area dry first so you are not trapping moisture against the face.
Maintenance and care
Rinse the cover with fresh water after saltwater days and wipe it clean with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh solvents and abrasive pads that can dull the surface.
This is a good match for open-console boats, pilothouses, and flybridges where the display is regularly exposed between trips, especially on coastal cruising and fishing boats that see frequent spray and washdowns.
