hey guys welcome back to wendell fishing daryn here and i got an issue i believe
that my power cable coming from my knuckle battery
is corroded therefore not making a great connection to my fish finder and it is not
turning on so i'm going to show you how to clean that and get it working again all right let's do
this all right it's hard to see here but um this looks a bit corroded down there so you're gonna
need a few items in order to take care of this you're gonna need some vinegar some salt and some
baking soda and a toothbrush i recommend a new one because you want to get these bristles as straight
as possible you don't want the ones that you've been using for the past year and they're all bent
out to the side because you want to be able to get down into these holes as best you possibly can
to clean those out all right so let's go ahead and mix up you're gonna need some salt so let's find
some type of glass uh a whole bunch of salt down there that's good then your vinegar
there you go i'm gonna mix this with your toothbrush
all right now that mixed up pretty good
i'm going to take the end of this kind of shake it around in there
now that it's in there gonna take your toothbrush and just start cleaning i can
i can feel my my bristles getting caught down in those tiny little holes which is good
so because it was really good oh it smells awful all right i'm liking this so far
all right i can already tell they're starting to shine up a bit now this will work on a variety
i mean mine only has four prongs i know some of the nicer fish finders has like
like 15 prongs on them um this will also work there but give that a a good working
get the bristles down in there and out in and out in and out do another rinse in the water
all right and just for good measure and do it again
all right next in your second glass you have for some baking soda
there you go a little bit of water in there
and mix that around
give that a second brushing
rinse it in there a little bit
brush brush brush all right i don't know if you guys see that very well but it looks a lot cleaner
than it was when i started now you're also going to have to clean this out really good
before you plug it in again obviously let's go ahead and flick this out a lot let it dry
if you want to you can stick it in rice for a little while if you don't feel super
confident and plugging this back into your electronic so let's go ahead
so i'm going to let this dry a little bit and come back a little bit later and we'll see
if it starts up my garmin striker 4 fish finder
and it makes a good connection in there if you're like me and don't like the weight around if you
have an air compressor you can get some air and go ahead and push that in there
all right guys now for the moment of truth
