Protecting Fish Finders
I have a Lowrance Elite 5 and I'm not so confident about how durable it is for launching through the surf.
The waterproof rating is allegedly IPX7, which is supposed to be good for 1 meter submersion for up to 30 minutes. Because of the quarter-turn electrical connectors on the back and the way the rubber flap covers the SD micro data card, I'm not so sure. --- Do any of you take extra precautions to avoid destroying your fish finders? Dielectric grease? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ilpage_o00_s00 Extended warranties? A hood of some sort to protect the screen from too much direct sun? Is salt water damage inevitable? --- I hook up my fish finder, bait tank and batteries at home when everything is dry before I go out on the water. Hopefully, the quarter-turn wire connectors have a sufficient water tight seal?
