Keep your Garmin GPSMAP 7×16 series chartplotter looking sharp and functioning flawlessly, even after countless days on the water. This dedicated protective cover slips on effortlessly, shielding your investment from the relentless pounding of saltwater spray, intense UV rays, and unexpected bumps during storage or transport. Boaters know that marine gear takes a beating—think scorching sun baking the screen, gritty salt buildup, or dockside dings. That’s where this rugged cover steps in, delivering peace of mind without skimping on convenience.
Engineered for Real-World Marine Demands
Crafted from high-grade, weather-resistant materials, this cover stands up to the toughest coastal conditions. It’s not just a thin flap of fabric; it’s a tailored shield designed specifically for the GPSMAP 7×16 lineup, including popular models like the 7216 and 7416. The snug fit hugs every curve and contour, preventing dust, pollen, or bird droppings from sneaking in during off-season storage. UV inhibitors woven into the fabric fight fading and cracking, so it stays vibrant season after season.
Custom Molded Design: Perfectly contours to your chartplotter’s shape for full coverage without sagging or slipping.
Water-Repellent Exterior: Beads away moisture, keeping the interior dry even if caught in a sudden squall.
Reinforced Stitching: Handles repeated use without fraying, ideal for frequent on-off access.
Lightweight Yet Tough: Weighs next to nothing, making it easy to pack for tournaments or weekend getaways.
Boost Longevity and Resale Value
Investing in quality marine electronics like the GPSMAP 7×16 means protecting it proactively. Scratches on the touchscreen can impair readability during critical navigation moments, and corrosion from salt air eats away at bezels over time. This cover minimizes those risks, helping maintain that factory-fresh appearance. Anglers report their units holding up better through rough tournaments, while sailboat owners appreciate the extra barrier against gelcoat rub during trailering. When it’s time to upgrade, a well-preserved display commands a higher resale price—smart boating at its finest.
Seamless Compatibility with Your Setup
No guesswork here—this cover is made exclusively for the GPSMAP 7×16 series, ensuring it works with flush-mount, bracket-mounted, or pedestal installations. It accommodates transducers, antennas, and wiring passthroughs without interference. Whether you’re running a compact 7216 on a center console or a larger 7616 on a sportfisher, the fit is spot-on. Pair it with Garmin’s ecosystem for total protection: use it alongside sunscreens during operation and this cover for downtime.
Quick Installation Tips from Seasoned Captains
Wipe down your chartplotter with a microfiber cloth to remove salt residue before covering.
Align the bottom edge first, then pull up smoothly over the screen—takes under 30 seconds.
Secure any straps or clips firmly to avoid vibrations loosening the fit on the go.
For long-term storage, store in a cool, dry spot away from direct sunlight.
Tailored for Every Boater’s Lifestyle
Offshore adventurers use it to guard against spray on extended trips. Kayak anglers slip it on between launches to fend off sandy beaches. Yacht owners rely on it in marinas where dew and pollutants lurk. Its versatility shines in freshwater too—protect your bass boat’s electronics from tree sap or fish scales. By creating a barrier against environmental hazards, you’re extending the life of features like BlueChart g3 mapping, sonar integration, and intuitive touchscreen controls that make the GPSMAP series a boating staple.
Don’t let neglect turn your high-tech navigator into a foggy, corroded relic. This protective cover is the simple upgrade that pays dividends in reliability and enjoyment on the water.
