Subject: Cleaning water spots on motor/ sonar returns


1st one-Is there a general cleaner that one might have around the house to clean off the water spots on the engine/boat? Also, we went out trolling for salmon last night. Friends' boat that he leaves in the water. We had 3 cannon balls down. We seemed to be marking ALOT of small and a few larger fish. Could they be the cannon balls? By leaving the transduce submerged will algea build up causing false readings? If so, how often should he clean it? I doubt it was weeds since we headed down the lake at 28 mph and those should have be blown off. Old boat and I could not see transducer, only the wire going over the back edge. Thanks a bunch.

1/4 cup of vinegar to one quart of water in a spray bottle. Works great on taking sludge off of the boat anywhere. Wipe it off with a towel.

I just use a wet paper towel to clean the screens on my graphs and GPS's.

It is very comon to mark your balls on your graph depending upon speed and depth of your balls. If the "fish" form a line across your screen then it was probably your balls.

I'm not affiliated with this company, but I bought the wonderfoam and it worked great. Would work well on water spots on your motor.
