I have 172C and buddy has 182. We had these over 3 years. They are well sealed.
I only use the Garmin Cover. I don't leave it out in the weather. On my old boat I took it off every day. On the new boat I mounted it under the dash which has a door. So now I leave it on the boat with no issues.

I have one now and it's on it's 3rd year with me ... LOVE IT!
I do take it off the boat though at the end of the day, never a problem with fogging, very good display, use the Blue Chart chip and your golden!

Insanity is a long and winding road ... I think I finally made it there.

The charts with the gps are great. The FF is good, nothing fantastic or eartrhshatering. It does the job. There may be better FF on the market.
Did have some issues with interfearence after installation, the GPS would relocate when using the vhf. Added some ferrite filters to the affected units and everything is fine.

You might still have the good ole "H" bouy still listed on yours.
It was always a feat making it to the H bouy in my buddys leaky 14fter. |
