I have been thinking about getting a Lexerd - Standard Horizon CP180i TrueVue Anti-glare Fish Finder Radar Screen Protector for my sounder. Lots of times it gets salt crystals on it, and I sometimes wipe it without thinking, and it gets a cloudy film on the screen. It is o.k. when I wipe it again with a damp cloth with freshwater on it, but it must leave scratches.
The protectors are $US20 each plus postage, but if anyone else wants one, then hopefully the shipping cost will not change by much. Any interest or opinions?

yeas I do too - when I get home. It is just when it gets covered in salt during fishing and gets hard to see. Just saves the screen getting abraded. I amm getting one anyhow, just thought if anyone else wanted one I would include it in the order.

Why not just buy a roll of gladwrap and put it on the sounder radio etc and at end of the day just peel it off and presto back to no salt and no scratching.

Hmmmm. O.K. I get the message. Most people have film protectors on their phones and camera monitors. I would think that they get less potential scratches and hazing then a sounder screen would, but each to their own. I like a nice bright screen to look at, not a cloudy scratched one.
Like the glad wrap idea though. Maybe I could wrap my sandwiches onto the side of the sounder at the same time......

hay mate, the glad wrap will work, but i say why worry you know were my radio is mounted and it cops a s^^t load of salt water and still it work's fine, and as for the sandwiches, make tomato ones just don't put to much salt on them hmmmmmmm egg ones will work as well
