Garmin 4012 Multi function display

[Pdksr]

Thinking of leaving my Garmin in my 2510 over the winter. Anyone had any problems with these LCD units surviving the winter? I could also leave a 40 watt bulb in the dash access compartment to give it a little heat over the winter. Any thoughts/comments?

I kept my Garmin 4208 on my 23SE year round. Have the same unit on my 2520XL No problems.

no reason to take it out - esp you pilot house guys. im told the worst you can do it is disconnect and wrap the ends in plastic. this retains moisture and causes problemos

My 3010 has seen no issues in 3 years. I use my boat all year....

I just bought a new fcv-620 Furuno and they suggest keeping it out of freezing temps for any prolonged period..............Bought it 3 weeks ago..

That would really not be good up here in these Latitude's
What about ground fishing in the winter or winter dive trips
You have to take everything out of the boat each weekend
Not :roll:
