Hi Bruce The good news is that $20 is not really that bad and these covers stand up very well to UV. We used to have a Standard Horizon CP180 chartplotter mounted on bulkhead of previous boat (Nut Case). Was new in 2009. Within three years the cover was so brittle that pieces were falling off. Replacement cost was $40. These covers are very affected by UV and have a life expectancy of only 3 or 4 years. By contrast the ST60 instruments on the same boat were at least 7 years old when we purchased the instruments and were as good at a dozen years old as they were when new.

One was gone, another was loose. These things are $20+ shipping. Pretty stupidly priced for a piece of plastic IMHO. I don't necessarily mind replacing one of them, but I'm concerned about having to do so multiple times. Anyone have a better solution? Thanks!
