MAINTENANCE
Maintenance for the LC-507 is very simple. There, simply, is
not that much to maintain. Because of this, problems can sneak
up on you if you're not careful.
The unit should be removed whenever the boat is parked to
guard against theft. Don't store it in a place that may fill with
water.
Power connections need constant checking. Corrosion can
develop and cause intermittent or loss of operation. Spray the
power connector and battery terminals with silicone to prevent
this. Remove the connections before you put the boat away for
storage.
The transducers should be checked for scratches and cracks
which can reduce the units sensitivity. Cuts or breaks in the cord
should be repaired as soon as possible, so corrosion doesn't attack
the wire.
Periodically clean the face of the transducer with a mild deter-
gent. An oily film can develop which will cause weak readings.
Clean the face of the unit with a mild soap. Don't submerge the
unit when cleaning.
