You can have the most water ght and secure installa on, but corrosion has a very sneaky way of creeping in slowly and “killing” off any electronics or metal in its way. So it is a MUST to perform regular maintenance on your electronics, especially if you are situated in a salty environment. 10 16 We recommend Dolphin Corrosion Block. This is a 400ml aerosol can full of magic. This chemical formula was originally formulated for the mechanical and marine electrical engineering industry to help with maintenance in a harsh and corrosive environment. The Dolphin Corrosion Block is a master penetrant, corrosive retardant and a water repellent - making it ideal for general applica on at home and on your marine electronics. The main purpose of the corrosion block is to loosen nuts and bolts, lubricate, clean, displace/repel water, and it is also non - conduc ng. As a moisture repellent, this is ideal for any electronics on a boat, jet-ski or kayak as it will go a long way in keeping the salt water away from your electronics - and even your ba ery terminals. The Dolphin Corrosion Block is non-toxic and therefore h a r m l e s s to a u to m o ve finishes, rubber, neoprene and plas cs. lowrance south south africa africa lowrance
