Hi
I just bought a boat and it has the hummingbird 987c and it has moisture on the screen boat dealer said to bring in house for a few days and it would dry out. Any ideas on a better way? I am not a electronics guy. The unit seem to work it just has the miosture on screen. thanks rpaul

But that tells me the case seal is compromised.

Re: Hummingbird 987c

A few years ago when I was looking for a new unit and was reading reviews it seemed to be a common complaint with many of the Humminbird models and one which Humminbird had little interest in resolving. I bought a Humminbird anyways and never experienced it.

So I suppose my commet would be, you are not alone.

I also have had the same problem, and i did a nitrogen flood while the case was open and sealed it back up and it hasn't had one drop of water inside in 4 years.
