Introduction
The Garmin Trim Piece Snap Cover (model 010-12165-01) protects and restores the appearance of your GPSMAP marine chartplotter by shielding vulnerable trim edges from damage, salt spray, and UV deterioration. This precision-fitted accessory prevents cosmetic wear that can affect both the device's aesthetics and resale value, making it an essential addition to any serious marine navigator's toolkit.
Key Features
- Compatible with GPSMAP 7408, GPSMAP 7408xsv, GPSMAP 7608, and GPSMAP 7608xsv models
- Snap-on installation mechanism—no tools required for attachment or removal
- Weather-resistant construction rated for marine environments with exposure to salt spray, rain, and UV rays
- Lightweight design adds less than 1% to total device weight
- Protects against 100% of direct contact damage to trim edges
