Protecting sounder... Any DIY ideas?

[Anthony]

I rinse mine off with fresh water and spray some inox on the plug contacts after each trip. No signs of any corrosion in a bit over a year.

Iv noticed when I spray my sounder plugs, and also reels, with inox, they bubble a bit. I presume that's the inox reacting with the salt..
I try to leave my sounder plugged in as often as possible, no air = no corossion from what I'm lead to believe

Leaving it plugged in would definitely be the best method but I would still use an anti-corrosion lubricant as I doubt the plugs are 100% air/water tight. I'm just worried about someone pinching it if I happen to stop on my way so I disconnect it. I actually use the Inox MX4 Lanox which is what Inox reccomended when I emailed them about the issue. For my reels I use Inox MX5 for the bearings and the MX8 grease for the gears when I open them for a service. I haven't noticed any bubbling but I usually give everything a good wash before I spray it. My guess would be that the salt in dissolving into the Inox though.

I think that's just the propellant coming out of solution, I've noticed the same thing. WD40 does it too.

I doubt salt would react in a way that would cause bubbles without using some pretty nasty (read: fun) chemicals

Thanks for the insight ian

Thanks for the insight ian

to be fair I could be completely wrong, it's a long long time since I studied any chemistry

Thanks for advice guys.


Seems like some inox and a freshwater rinse is all I really need to keep it going. Thx!

Just as I hook up my sounder etc..

Does anyone see any issues I may run into if I mount my transducer on this swing arm like so?

Also the overall setup.
