Detailed description

Specifically designed for Raymarine’s Element 12 range, the R70729 sunshade is a protective cover for 12-inch multifunction displays. It fits precisely over the unit, providing full coverage of the screen front when the display is not in use. Such protection is critical to preserving display clarity and longevity in a marine environment. While some MFDs like the Zeus³S from B&G or certain Garmin units include built-in protective systems, Raymarine’s Element accessory line ensures adaptability and component interchangeability.

Essential Marine Protection

Prolonged exposure to UV rays, salt spray, and dust can degrade the surface of a navigation display, reducing readability and operational lifespan. The Raymarine R70729 sunshade acts as a physical barrier against these hazards. It helps prevent accidental scratches and screen fading, protecting your investment. This is a key component for preventive maintenance of the Element 12, comparable to the protection offered by covers for larger displays or radar domes.

Integration and Compatibility: R70729

The R70729 sunshade is engineered for a precise fit on Raymarine Element 12 HV and Element 12 S models, ensuring it stays securely in place even in rough sea conditions. This dedicated compatibility is an advantage over universal covers, which may not offer the same level of security or sealing. Installation is tool-free and allows for quick removal and replacement before and after each sailing session. It aligns with Raymarine’s strategy of dedicated accessories for its product ranges.

« Essential protection for Element 12 screens »

A multifunction display like the Element 12 is a significant investment aboard. Its longevity is directly tied to the quality of protection when not in use. This sun cover, while simple in appearance, is a key element of preventive maintenance. It is not just about protecting against scratches, but primarily about limiting UV exposure, the main factor in the long-term degradation of LCD screens and sealing gaskets. Its precise fit ensures it stays in place even in rough seas or strong winds, unlike less suitable universal solutions. It is therefore recommended for any Element 12 owner looking to maximize the lifespan of their equipment, especially on units exposed to the elements.
