Practical Tips for Maximum Protection
Getting the most out of your cover is simple. Snap it into place after each use, especially post-fishing trips or long passages. Wipe it down with fresh water to rinse off salt residue, and store it in a dry spot when off the boat. For multi-station setups, consider multiples to cover all screens quickly. Pro tip: Pair it with Garmin's flush-mount kits for a streamlined, fully protected installation that withstands trailering and storage.
Maintenance Made Easy
- Rinse with mild soap and water after exposure to saltwater.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the smooth surface.
- Inspect for wear annually to catch any issues early.
