Garmin Trim Piece Snap Cover f/GPSMAP® 9x17 Chartplotters

Enhance Your Marine Display Setup

Picture this: your sleek Garmin GPSMAP 9x17 chartplotter gleaming at the center of your glass helm, surrounded by a flawless, custom-fit trim that ties everything together. This snap cover isn't just a replacement part—it's the finishing touch that elevates your boating experience from functional to professional-grade. Crafted for precision, it conceals any rough edges, dings, or mismatches from previous installations, ensuring your helm looks as sharp as the day it was built.

Whether you're upgrading your vessel's electronics or repairing wear from years of saltwater adventures, this trim piece delivers a seamless, factory-fresh appearance without the hassle of complex modifications.

Key Features for Lasting Performance

• Snap-On Design: Effortlessly clicks into place over existing mounts, no tools or adhesives required for most setups.
• Precision Engineering: Tailored exactly for GPSMAP 9x17 chartplotters, providing a snug, gap-free fit that withstands vibrations from rough seas.
• Durable Materials: High-impact, UV-resistant polymer construction resists fading, cracking, and corrosion in harsh marine environments.
• Aesthetic Upgrade: Matches the original Garmin styling to maintain your helm's modern, cohesive look.
• Quick Protection: Shields delicate display edges from accidental impacts during docking or maintenance.

Seamless Compatibility with Garmin Chartplotters

Designed exclusively for the GPSMAP 9x17 series, this trim cover integrates perfectly with models like the 9417 and similar high-resolution displays. It's an ideal match for boaters running multifunction setups where every detail counts. If your chartplotter features the signature flush-mount design, this snap cover restores that premium bezel edge, preventing distractions from imperfect trims that could otherwise detract from your navigation focus.

Pro tip: Pair it with other Garmin accessories for a fully customized helm that performs as good as it looks, especially in competitive fishing or long-range cruising scenarios.

Simple Installation in Minutes

Installing this trim piece is straightforward, even for DIY boat owners. Here's a quick step-by-step:

1. Power down and remove your GPSMAP chartplotter from the mount if needed.
2. Align the snap cover over the existing trim area or mounting bracket.
3. Press firmly until it clicks securely—tabs engage automatically for a tamper-resistant hold.
4. Reinstall the display and test for stability.

No drilling, no mess. In under five minutes, your helm is transformed, ready for the next outing.

Why Boaters Choose This Trim Cover

In the world of marine electronics, small details make big waves. A pristine trim not only boosts visual appeal but also protects your investment from environmental wear. Salt spray, sun exposure, and constant handling can degrade standard trims over time—this snap cover stands up to it all, extending the life of your Garmin display.

Owners rave about how it revives older installations, making high-end chartplotters look brand new without a full overhaul. It's a smart, cost-effective solution for maintaining that showroom shine on your center console, yacht, or offshore rig.

Care and Maintenance Tips

Keep your trim looking sharp with minimal effort:

• Wipe with a microfiber cloth and mild soap solution after each trip—avoid abrasives.
• Inspect snaps periodically for secure fit, especially after heavy wave action.
• Store spares in a dry locker to have backups ready for any mishaps.

With proper care, it'll outlast multiple seasons of hardcore boating.
