Cover for Fishfinder
Hi Guys,
I just bought a fishfinder/chartplotter for the new boat, and I'm a little worried about it getting wet.
I'll take it off the boat when the boat's not in use, but am a little worried about it getting wet from spray or rain.
I've been trying to find a cover or some sort of plexiglass thing to go over it, but no luck.
Anybody have any experience with something like this?
Thanks,
Rick

What brand and model is it? I only ask because many of todays electronics are pretty well sealed for waterproofing.

It's a Lowrance Elite 7 HDI. I've been looking at ebay and Amazon, as well. Nothing!

Rick I have lowrance and garmin electronics and always get them wet while fishing in the rain, spray on rough days, and even wash them with the hose while washing the boat. Never had a problem.

They're pretty waterproof, just throw a sou'wester hat over it when it rains and fish on.

Easy enough to make one with some plexiglass sheets and a bottle of plexiglass solvent.
