Screen Protector Vinyl Film

I was browsing around on Amazon.com recently and noticed these screen protectors for sonar fish-finders. They look pretty cool and they are inexpensive. I think I will try some. These are like the protective film you can buy for your cell phone or other electronic devices to protect the screen. I think it’s basically the same stuff that you often find on a smooth surface like a tv screen when you first buy it.

Here’s why I think it might work out well on fish-finders:

• If you keep your fish finder a long time this is important – long screen life without scratches
• If you upgrade your fish finders frequently and sell the old ones – the scratch-free screen will mean more money when you sell the old equipment
• Some of these films are supposed to reduce glare – that could be a biggie
• I think water spots would probably not be as bad, and they would be easier to wipe off
• If they have any that cover the full face of the unit, that would help keep water out
• The film is easy to apply and remove and does not leave any residue or damage
• They make the film protectors for specific makes and models of fish finders, so they will fit right
