CORROSION KILLS
If you are an offshore angler, corrosion is your worst enemy!
You have to take extra special care to avoid corrosion. Corrosion
often attacks card readers and plugs/connections. It could render
your card reader useless, so you cannot read charts at all. Or it
could attack your connections and you could lose pins- even the
loss of one single pin will mean that your connection will not work.
It is important to note that corrosion is considered
negligence and is not a warranty claim.
HOW TO PREVENT CORROSION:
You should always have a can of
Corrosion Block on your boat.
You can use this for all your
boating equipment- spray the
card slot of your Lowrance unit,
spray the connections on the
back and on your cables, and
you can also spray your rods and
reels. Lowrance SA sells a single
can of Corrosion Block for only
R100. It’s a great addition to
your Christmas gift ideas! recommend that you first use
a solution of warm mild soapy
water (like dishwashing soap),
wipe the face dry and if water
spots remain, use a solution
of water and vinegar. Always
use a soft cloth.
If your unit comes into contact
with salt spray, you should
simply wipe the affected surface
with a cloth dampened with
fresh water. If you just wipe the
screen with a dry cloth or with a
cloth that has been dampened
with sea water, the salt particles
can scratch your screen. If you
feel the need to give your
LCD screen a proper clean, we Some customers (especially
kayak or jet-ski anglers) might
see moisture droplets on
the inside of their screen-
this condensation cannot be
prevented. An easy way to get
rid of condensation is to wrap
your unit in a dry towel and
leave it in a dark, dry place
overnight.The droplets should
be gone in the morning.
Lowrance SA sells approved
screen cleaner: R90 for 100ml.
