Aqua-Vu question

[Hookmaster]

I just finished putting together an Aqua-Vu ZT. The manual recommends to disconnect the camera cable from the monitor when not in use and for transporting. I haven't had a chance to call Aqua-Vu and ask why. Does anyone know the answer? Is it to make sure it dries out so no corrosion occurs? I hate to take apart and put together these connectors with the small pins so often.

On the 4" screen models such as the ZT, the cable sticks out on the right side of the screen. They can be broken off when transporting.

As stated, its beacuse it sticks out and can be broken if hit wrong. The pins in there are quite tough.. I wouldnt worry to much about breaking the pins. I myself get lazy and don't often disconect the cord either, and have yet to have a problem.

On my ZT the cable does come out of the bottom on the right side and is about 4 inches long before the connector to the camera cable. With it connected and the monitor folded down, it is right underneath the monitor. It looks to be protected well. Does it get broken off if you have it connected and something hooks the cable and there is no give? If it wasn't connected the loose end would probably just flop around? I'll call Aqua-Vu and post their response.

Just got done talking with Aqua-Vu Customer Service. They were busy when I called and returned my call in about 15 minutes. She said this year's ZTs with the fish camera have been redesigned. Instead of plugging directly into the side of the monitor, there is a short cord to the fitting. They haven't editted the manual yet. She said you could leave it hooked together.
