Yep. If its dry inside, then there should be less condensation. I used to blow dry the inside once a year when condensation started showing again, but I have been remiss.

Sorry bing..... After what you said on the water about your past Garmin use I just could not resist bing

As to the breaking pin issue Furuno's are the worse after using one of them for years my Garmins seem bullet proof.

Jim

Garmin wanted 125 to fix the pins

If I were a careful person, it shouldnt be a problem. Problem is, I am not a gentle person

my hummingbird does the same thing,condensate,bogus readings over the canyon.However i have left the kayak outdoors with the shield on,exposed to rain,heat cool etc...and my hbird still works well .I just put the dielectric grease on once a month. it'll be 3 years old in august.

I wonder if ill still get the funky readings in LJ if i get the xducer for the trident, mounted outside?

have a good one all
