    Just went into the boat barn and noticed that the help didn’t pack the x-17s and bring them inside for the winter, as i had instructed.

    What should I expect? Problems??

    You may notice some vapor on the inside of your screen when you turn it on. I have left my out in the boat all winter before and had no problems. One good day in the sun on a fishing tri[ should clear the screen up.

    Many of the guys that fish Pool 4 all winter never take their locators off.

    Only one way to find out!

    If you get any condensation issues behind the screen turn on the backlight. It seems to speed the dissipation of moisture. A nice warm day and direct sunlight will work wonders as well.
