    Default Screen Cleaner


    The screen on my Lowrance has gotten covered with water, sunscreen, mosquito spray, etc. over time. I try cleaning every couple of weeks with the mixture that came with the unit when it was new, but it doesn't seem to help much. Any suggestions for cleaning? Thanks.

    If you have real bad water spots, try soaking a paper towel in white vinegar then spread it across the screen, pat it down wher entire screen is covered. Let it soak about 30 minutes then remove and wipe clean with micro fiber cloth. If you got bug spray on it that may not come off. Something in that stuff will make white spots on case and some times etches the screen. Never use bug spray close to your finder.

    Computer screen wipes sold at most stores with electronics.

    IF it is a touch screen, you can buy wipes for those as well. I carry a package of them in the glovebox of my boat and use them often. Some of them come with a wet wipe only, others come with two wipes... I wet one, and then a dry one. Works great and no issues.

    Lowrance recommends a 50/50 mix of alcohol and water for the Touch units.
