Detailed description

The Raymarine R70728 sunshade is an accessory designed for Raymarine Element 9" multifunction displays. This protective cover is specifically tailored to the dimensions of the Element 9" chartplotter, whether it is the Element 9 HV or Element 9 S version. Its purpose is to shield the screen from external aggressions such as UV rays, dust, and sea spray, thereby helping to maintain display readability and the longevity of the device.

Raymarine Protection and Integration

Unlike universal protective solutions, the R70728 sunshade offers perfect mechanical integration with the Element 9" models. It is easy to install and remove, ensuring secure retention when the screen is not in use or during extended periods of mooring. This protection is essential for maintaining the optical performance of the touchscreen, which is often prone to surface degradation due to continuous exposure to sunlight. An accessory such as the R70728 is as important as screen protectors for other Raymarine MFD ranges like Axiom or Garmin GPSMAP chartplotters, where preserving the user interface is critical.

Use and Maintenance of the R70728 Sunshade

Regular use of the R70728 sunshade helps reduce premature wear of your Element 9" screen caused by direct exposure to the elements. It acts as a physical barrier, limiting the buildup of salt and dirt on the screen surface, thereby making cleaning and maintenance easier. This type of official accessory, while simple, extends the useful life of marine electronic equipment by protecting it from the harsh environmental conditions inherent to the nautical environment.

Expert opinion

« Essential protection for the longevity of the Element 9 »

The R70728 sunshade is an essential accessory for any Raymarine Element 9 MFD owner. Prolonged UV exposure is the leading cause of marine display degradation: yellowing, contrast loss, and eventual failure of touch layers. This cover, specifically molded for the Element 9, provides complete physical protection for the screen when the device is not in use or during long periods of inactivity at the harbor. It is particularly recommended for installations at the helm station exposed to direct sunlight and spray.

Installation is trivial, attaching via simple snap-fit. There are no wiring or configuration constraints. Its use maintains optical clarity of the screen over time, preventing micro-scratches from embedded salt cleaning and degradation of antireflective coatings. While it is a passive protective piece, its practical value is significant for preserving the investment represented by an MFD. It has no usage limitations other than its exclusive compatibility with the Element 9 range.
