Fishfinder Corrosion
 

The connection prongs on the unit of my eagle FF are starting to corrode a little bit. Is there anything you can spray on them to prevent this?
Thanks

dielectric grease

You can get it at an auto part store.

Yeah I was thinking that would work.
Thanks!

we sell that at oex oside! :D

I have a Hummingbird but this problem is likely universal to all FF. I have learned a couple things that may help with this problem.

DO NOT leave your FF cable connected to the battery while in storage. Even though the cable may not be connected to anything, it will be conducting current. The connector pins will corrode very quickly when exposed to the damp, salty air inside your kayak, especially when hot.

If your cable connectors are corroded, a quick wash with vinegar will usually clean them up. I use a q-tip but you can also dip the cable ends in the vinegar, (unplugged, of course).

Hopefully this helps.

De-oxit can erase past neglect.

Corrosion on electrical connections.
 

I know this is an older post but for cleaning almost any electical connection use a little BEER. Try it on your car battery connections it works much better than baking soda.

what come on & i use diamonds for torpedo weights :D

Good for you. Beer is 8 to 10 cents an OZ. Deoxit is about 8 dollars an OZ. Besides Deoxit tases nasty.

beer is worth its weight in gold if u have the last one in the cooler:cheers1:
