Fish finder / hummingbird Q - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I am looking at upgrading FF...

Hummingbird seems to have the right combo of power, screen clarity, dual freq, etc, for the money in my price range.

But one thing I dont like is; Hummingbird uses a plug system that allows for expansion to add more gadgets (nice), but from what I see, if you dont add the gadgets, the connectors are left exposed to corrosion...

The guy at West Marine pointed this out and said some guys are smothering dialectric grease (mess) or silicone (tough to clean later)..

Have any of you with hummingbirds had a problem with this??

Thanks
