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

I have to agree with Fish11 that the most important thing to do first is di-electric grease the living s$#% out of it. I had problems with my first finder because I did not do this until it was to late and the whole unit needed replacing. I wish I would have got Fish11's advice when I first got a finder.... would have saved me some cash.

I personally am not to bothered by a few spots on the screen when on the water, but make sure to rinse it with fresh water (like I'm guessing you do with everything else) after your off the water.

I would recommended a ziplock bag (or better yet leave the head unit in your kayak and connect when past the break) over the unit if you will be surf launching to protect it from the wave or 2 you will take over the bow.
