Fogged Up Fish Finder Screen

[basscat]

Does anyone else have trouble with fish finders fogging up inside the screen? I have two HB's one on front and one at the console, both fogg up even if I store them in the house between trips or in the dry storage on the boat. Any advice how to stop the fog??

I had the same problem last year, because I left mine in the boat in dry storage. I got a gallon zip lock bag and put white rice in it along with both the fish finders. I put about a two pound bag of rice in the ziplock. It took a couple of weeks, but it dried out both fishfinders. Sounds like a old wives tale, but it really works.

poppop i do believe it would work like you say, i just wish it worked in the salt shakers at restaurants lol

thanks for the rice tip. I will try it. I will post after the new year if it works or not.

Mine has done this many times if I leave the light on in the Finder. I sometimes leave early and turn the back light on and forget to tirn off after daybreak. BB

Same here w/ my HB's only the 727 up front does it. Some one told me one time that it's because I left them in the boat over the winter. Bad seals is what they said. I'll have to try the white rice trick.

So Poppop, once you got it dried out....no more problems out on the water?!? I also have aa Eagle that fogs.

One of the small desiccant bags that come in shoes and other products should work also?

Rice will work good. Desicates too, if you can get enough of them. Leave them in a window sill that gets sun will quicken the pace of the drying.
