Lowrance cleaning contacts
« on: June 17, 2008, 10:14:20 AM »
My new boat came with a lowrance the contacts are oxidized. How do I clean them so I get a good connection? Lowrance does not work because of this problem. Thanks for any help.

In RCA we used a #2 pencil eraser or for bigger jobs a Pink Pears eraser.

If they are relay contacts, tear off a piece of  a paper shopping bag put it between the contacts apply light pressure and pull the paper out slowly.  Do this a couple of times and your contacts will shine like new without having to re adjust them.

Good Luck.
