Cleaning the screen of a Lowrance

[EBass]

I have some hard water spots that won't come off with Windex on the screen. Does anyone have any info on another product to clean off the screen but won't damage it? CLR?

Try a mixture of 1/2 rubbing alcohol and 1/2 water. That's what I was told to use to clean laptop LCD screens and it works great!... I imagine that would work well... but use a very soft cloth!

Yo E, long time no talk to…..

I have found that if you put a little white vinegar in with the Windex everything comes clean. I have been using that for over a year now and it works great.

vinager and water 50/50, should do the trick

I will also use vineger to clean the spots off my motor before I wax it. I use it full strengh but have a hose close by to rinse it off.It is a good for your wave wackers .

Rain-X works great and new water spots just wipes right off.

Sweet!! Thanks for the replies!

Hi GJ! How was the real opener for you? Muskie opened this past weekend right?

You are correct, but the season opened with a whimper, not a bang. Went to Harriet and on about the 5th cast had a nice thick 48 follow to the boat and actually show interest on the figure 8. Pulled it back up on the very next cast but it was less interested the second time around and flipped me the proverbial fin. Saw 12 fish in total and had one small one nip at a bucktail but nothing in the boat. I heard the same story from the other boats I talked to. Maybe next time……..

For the screen cleaner, I went as far as buying one of those small travel size bottles of hair spray (the little pump bottle) and emptied it out. I then filled it with the Windex/white vinegar concoction to keep in the boat. It’s nice not to have to keep a huge bottle of Windex in the boat. As far as mix ratio goes I would say I was closer to 10 to 1 Windex to Vinegar. It does not seem to take much vinegar to get the screen clean.

Thanks for the tips.
