Sean, that's one of the cleanest installations I've seen.  Thanks again!

And where do I get "silicone dielectric grease"?
Potto, check your local automotive shop.  I recently found a small can for less than then $10 at my local Pep Boys.  Before that, I was buying a 1/3oz tube for around $9 at West Marine.  What a friggin rip-off :smt013

How do I get rid of fog from the screen?


Just put it in your house at room temp. for a day or two.  Leaving it in a dry bag after a session is proven to be really good at fogging them up!

Thanks man!  I try to keep it looking as pimp as possible.

I lost the connector prong of my battery line in my FF the other day. How do you get that little thing out of the hole?

I had to disassemble mine and cut away the plastic of the connector, then solder the battery cable right into the back and seal it up with caulk.  

Going to be doing that with the transducer connector sometime this week.  Going to big sur seems to cast a hex on my FF, as the battery connector broke on the previous trip down there.
