Keep your Garmin chartplotter looking sharp on the water with the sleek black trim piece snap cover designed specifically for the GPSMAP 12×2 series.

This precision-engineered trim piece snaps securely into place, shielding vulnerable edges and maintaining a clean, streamlined profile on your console.

Simple Snap-On Installation for Quick Boat-Ready Results
Reviving your chartplotter’s look takes mere moments:
Clean the display’s mounting edge thoroughly with mild soap and water to remove salt residue or grime.
Align the snap cover tabs with the corresponding slots on the Garmin unit.
Press firmly around the perimeter until you hear the satisfying click—tabs engage on all sides for a vibration-proof hold.
Remount your GPSMAP securely and admire the renewed finish.
Pro tip: Apply during off-season maintenance to avoid downtime during peak fishing season. This accessory pairs well with Garmin’s ecosystem of protective flush mounts for full helm protection.
Maintaining Peak Performance in Saltwater Environments
To maximize longevity, rinse the trim cover regularly with freshwater after every outing. Avoid harsh chemicals that could dull the matte black surface. In extreme conditions like offshore racing or commercial fishing, inspect snaps quarterly for wear. This small investment prevents larger issues, like water ingress around edges, keeping your nav data flowing uninterrupted.
