lowrance terminals

[doggy39]

Can someone tell me if there is any screw caps that you can buy to put on unused terminals on the back of the lowrance sounders which don't have a cable connected to protect them from the weather. eg in a tinnie.

Just get a rubber grommet and plug the hole .

Or give a little spray with Lanox
I reckon they're better left open and a good water repellent used then trying to plug the socket with the possibility of water getting in and sitting there.

They are the genuine conxall caps. Will cost you a motza shipped from the US though. There is a company that I used to work for at caboolture called monitor sensors that used to stock them and still should if the company still exists.

BUT. I tend to agree with Finga on this one. I sprayed inox into the connectors of my lowrance sounder and have never had a problem. The connectors are more likely to corrode if you have a cap in them and the water manages to get in and cant get out. At least without a cap the water can run out.

Thanks will give the inox spray a go sounds good.

I am using the cap off a toothpaste tube. Fits straight over it!!!! Paul Big Ren showed me and it works great.
