Vexilar LC-10 - Manual (Page 19)

MAINTENANCE
Maintenance for the Boundary Waters LC-10 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 and transducer 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 compartment with
silicone to prevent this. Remove the batteries before you
put the unit away for storage.
The transducer 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 cor-
rosion doesn't attack the wire. Periodically clean the face
of the transducer with a mild detergent. An oily film can
develop which will cause weak readings.
Clean the face of the unit with a mild soap. Don't sub-
merge the unit when cleaning.
