I’ve got some fogging over the center half of the screen on my flush mount hbird unit. It’s not cracked anywhere and is kept inside shop when not fishing. Any ideas how to dry it?

I'd be calling Bird and see if they will help. I'm betting you dry it out and it will get wet again.

Follow up...unable to dry the moisture from behind the screen, however found purely by chance that when wearing polarized glasses the fog totally disappeared and the screen view was perfect. Live and learn.
