    Default Cleaning Electronic Screens?


    What is the best thing to use on your fishfinder screens? I was afraid to use window cleaner with ammonia. Any suggestions? Thanks

    I think there was a post on here talking about using the Windex with Vinegar for the screens, cant seem to find the post but will keep lookin for it and post a link if I find. Im sure there are many different opinions as to what to use but like beagle man said, for sure nothing with abrasives in it

    Yep Windex with vinegar applied liberally and wipe from the top down with a microfiber cloth so any dirt or debris won't come back down from the top. You can buy large cleaning clothes at Wal-Mart optical centers.

    A glass of water with a lttle bit of rubbing alcohol mixed in. Saturate a soft lint free cloth with it, ring out and wipe. It does a fantastic job.

    Yes Follow the Frogger 's advice, or you can use the purple jazz stuff, Sparkle is its name, And for Goodness Sake Do NOT use anything that contains alcohol or Ammonia you will soften the screen material causing scratches to develop. Many many people always used Sparkle with no problems and finally bout 2-3 years ago Humminbird officially endorsed "Windex with Vinegar". Most Windshield washer contains alcohol that's a NO-NO............Sorry. Its $300 or $350 flat rate charge if you have to send it in to replace screen plus shipping to them........its your money
