New Xplore 12s on the way. For those with experience, do aftermarket screen protectors actually work? I'm sure it would still has no chance against a 50mph jighead, but would it help with small items and scratches? I have heard they may make it more difficult to read the screen.
The only two options I see available are from IPG guard ($25 each) or Precision Sonar Graph Glass ($60 each).
Precision Sonar... Last three boats I put them on every graph. Ordering a new boat and already have new ones from Precision at the house already...

They will help protect. You just have to choose between frustrating cloudy hazy one or the frustrating super blinding shiney one.
Hang on. I'll help you in 77 minutes.
I use Precision Sonars graph glass as well on all my bow graphs. They're IMO a more vulnerable spot on the boat to being hit by lures and stuff so I try to protect them as much as I can. They do add a bit of glare, wouldn't recommend the anti-glare ones as those make it appear blurry.

They add glare to glare resistant screens.
Used both Precision Sonar and RMP screen protectors on last 3 boats. Order clear ones, no issues, no glare and they will protect your screens.
This ^ right here is my only recommendation. Without going into detail all I will say is their customer service is 2nd to nobody. Thankfully I have never struck my graph with anything but I have had to replace a screen protector that was 100% my fault and yet they help me out.Originally Posted by PrecisionSonar

You would be surprised! Direct hit from 1/2 oz jig. Held my breath when I remove it, screen was perfect!

Wow, sold.
Yes, they work. I can show you a $3500 jig! When I got my new units I figured I would test them first, then install the protective screens that I had sitting in my garage. Very bad decision on my part. Skipped a jig right off of one. When Lowrance said they couldn't repair it, and a fishing trip coming up where I needed the broken unit replaced, well..... education and stupidity are expensive.
This! When I got my xplore 12 graph glass went on it right away. Had them on my solix units for years. Precision Sonar is extremely fast shipping too
