[cool][blue][size 1]Hey Al, the lube is one of those dual edged swords. It makes it easier to get the plug into the socket, but it also increases the incidence of having the plug getting dislodged while on the water. Seems like something is always bumping the wires and all of a sudden your screen goes blank. Also tends to make it so that you have to plug it in every time you go fishing.[/size][/blue]
[#0000ff][size 1]I have toyed with the idea of taping, or otherwise securing the connection to keep it in and tight. It is a pain to try to replug it while you are out on the water and there's fishing to be done. And, those [url "mailto:%$#@$$"]%$#@$$[/url] little pins always seem to not quite fit right when you are in a hurry. I broke one off once and invented some new words.[/size][/#0000ff]
