Garmin Protective Cover f/GPSMAP® 7x2 Series

The Garmin Protective Cover for GPSMAP 7x2 Series is a precision-engineered screen protector designed to shield compatible marine GPS chartplotters from UV damage, saltwater spray, and operational wear when the unit is not in active use. Built to fit snugly over the display without gaps, this protective cover is essential gear for anglers and boat operators who depend on accurate navigation and real-time sonar data in harsh offshore and coastal environments.

Marine electronics face constant environmental assault—sun exposure degrades display clarity and accelerates component degradation, while salt air and spray corrode exposed surfaces. This cover isolates your GPSMAP unit's sensitive touchscreen from direct UV radiation and moisture, extending equipment lifespan and maintaining display responsiveness. The tight-fitting design prevents dust infiltration and reduces need for frequent cleaning, a practical advantage on extended offshore expeditions where maintenance time is limited. Compatible with GPSMAP 722, GPSMAP 722xs, GPSMAP 742, and GPSMAP 742xs models, the cover integrates seamlessly into your existing navigation setup without requiring removal of transducer cables or other mounted hardware.

Whether you fish seasonal tournaments, operate a commercial vessel, or run weekend pleasure cruises, protecting electronics from preventable damage directly impacts operating costs and mission reliability. The lightweight design (0.25 lbs) adds no burden to your helm station or storage, making it practical to keep the cover installed during extended runs or to stow as emergency backup protection. For serious anglers and professional mariners running high-end Garmin plotters, this protective cover represents straightforward equipment maintenance—a small investment that guards against costly screen replacement or full unit failure.
