hummingbird fishfinder problems

[5wtrod]

Hi, I hope this helps. I know a guy who's father worked for a(n) marine distributor. Things like fish finders to marine two ways to skiis and wake boards, almost everything. So I called him and asked him about your situation. He said that not all fish finders are meant to be used out on the ice. Regular fish finders for dryer seasons are not meant for the ice as they will sometimes freeze and thaw and freeze again and thaw again. This action will cause not only condensation but can also ruin the electronics inside the case. Once this happens it will happen again and again no matter how dry you get it inbetween. The regular ice fishing flashers are made for extreme conditions in cold and wet situations and this problem usually will not happen to them.
Now this is what he said and since he has dealt in these products for 30+ years I think he may know more than some others. Anyway just something to think about.
