I've got a new Lowrance 520c and I love it, but I keep getting lots of water spots and smears on it. It makes it a lot tougher to read in bright sunlight. Any suggestions on cleaning the screen? Don't want to put the wrong stuff on it.

Thanks!

Great question, I am looking for that answer myself. Thank's slab, saved me some typing. Happy fish'n.

Equal parts of distilled vinegar, isopropal (sp) alcohol and distilled water. Works excellent and does not streak.

Vinagar windex is what I use on my 997. I alos keep a bottle of electronic wipes and a dry towel in the boat. You can get them at Walmart in the TV section. about 3 bucks.

I keep glass cleaner with no amonia and microfiber towl in the oat.

Microfiber towel and a can of cleaner called Plexus.

Wilson Frazier The Professor donated some of this stuff for the TFF whitebass tourney. It works great along with the cork handle cleaner I am not saying buy it but it is an option.

Great info guys!Thank's!

spit and a towel

Damp towel with water from the lake and dry it with the other end of the towel.

I wear glasses so I keep a small eyeglass cleaner kit in the boat ($3 at wallyworld). The kit has small multi tip screwdriver, spray cleaner and one of those silky towels in it. Turns out that the cleaner and towel work great for cleaning the screen on my 1197.

The auto screen cleaner wiper works great on my unit. I especially like the remote control. The bottle unit has to be filled about every 5th trip. When that happens, I just buy a new unit.

If you can tilt the screen especially, bottled water will dissolve the water spot, light finger rub to get fresh water to the deposit and a rinse will carry it away.

Wonder if starting a clean screen then applying that windshield water repellant stuff (rain sheield??) would minimize the deposits.

Clean????

I put a protective shield on mine when they are new and then you can just rub dirt on it...
