Garmin Protective Cover f/STRIKER™/Vivid 5" Units

Keep your Garmin STRIKER or Vivid 5-inch fishfinder safe from the relentless pounding of saltwater sprays, intense sunlight, and unexpected dockside bumps with this tailored protective cover. Anglers and boaters know that marine gear takes a beating—corrosion from salty air, fading from UV rays, and scratches from gear storage can cut short the life of even the toughest electronics. This cover steps in as your first line of defense, slipping on effortlessly to shield your display when it's not charting the next big catch.

Why Every Serious Angler Needs This Cover

Picture this: You've just powered down after a full day on the water, scanning depths and marking hotspots. Without proper protection, your fishfinder sits exposed to the elements—moisture seeps in, grime builds up, and the next outing starts with troubleshooting instead of fishing. This Garmin-designed cover changes that narrative. Crafted specifically for 5-inch STRIKER and Vivid series units, it provides a snug, custom fit that won't flap around or slide off during storage on your console or in the cabin.

• Durable Construction: Built from high-grade, weather-resistant fabric that laughs off rain, sun, and salt. It's tough enough for offshore adventures yet lightweight for easy handling.
• Full Coverage Protection: Envelops the entire unit, guarding buttons, ports, and screen from dust, debris, and accidental impacts.
• Breathable Design: Allows air circulation to prevent moisture buildup inside, reducing the risk of mold or fogging on future uses.
• Easy Access: Simple pull-on/pull-off mechanism—no zippers or straps to fuss with, so you can cover up in seconds as storms roll in.

Real-World Performance on the Water

Boaters rave about how this cover extends the reliability of their STRIKER setups. One captain shared how it saved his Vivid 5 from a rogue wave's splash during a sudden squall, keeping the screen crystal clear for the season. It's not just about survival; it's about maintaining peak performance. Clear sonar readings and vibrant CHIRP visuals depend on a protected unit—faded screens or corroded connections lead to missed fish and frustration.

Pro Tip: Pair it with routine freshwater rinses after saltwater exposure. Slide the cover on post-rinse for overnight drying and long-term safeguarding. This combo keeps your electronics humming through tournament seasons or casual outings alike.

Care and Longevity Tips

To maximize its lifespan, shake off loose debris after each use and spot-clean with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the fabric over time. Store it flat or hung when not in action to prevent creases. With proper care, this cover becomes a staple in your boating kit, outlasting generic alternatives that crack or tear under marine stress.

Perfect Fit for Your Fishing Adventures

Whether you're kayak fishing in brackish bays, trolling deep offshore, or ice fishing with a portable setup, this cover adapts to your lifestyle. It's the small investment that pays big dividends in gear longevity and peace of mind. Don't let environmental wear sideline your STRIKER—cover it, protect it, and fish harder.
