Just getting started - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I purchased a new Lowrance Elite-4 HDI this weekend for my new kayak and would like to know what everyone does to protect their fish finder's LCD screens from the salt mist, spray, splash and fish tail slaps and in general .... getting scratched.
I read my manual but didn't locate how to clean or maintain after each use.
How do you clean one up after a session?
I was thinking about using a zip-lock bag over it. Hmmmm

Also, I went on line searching for LCD screen scratch guard protectors for Elite-4's without any success.

Realizing that the LCD screens on phones and camera need protection ........... it makes me think that fish finders do too!
It looks like it could scratch easily.

Any help or useful suggestions would be appreciated?
