Tips for Caring for Your Electronics

• The most common cause of malfunctions is corrosion on connectors: clean them and protect them with a dielectric product every season.
• Check the battery voltage with the engine off. Low voltage causes reboots and erroneous readings on equipment.
• Save a copy of your waypoints before switching to a new chartplotter or updating it.

How Online Repairs Work

If your equipment is malfunctioning and you’re not near Manacor, here’s how the online repair service works:

1. Contact us by phone or email to describe the problem with your equipment (won’t turn on, screen without backlight, sulfated connector, incorrect readings, etc.).
2. Send the device, well-packaged, to the lab.
3. The technicians perform a diagnosis and provide you with a quote.
4. After the repair, they calibrate and adjust the device.
5. They return it to you, ready to install.

This is a very useful solution for chartplotters, fishfinders, or autopilots where buying a new replacement would be much more expensive than repairing the existing unit.

Transducers: The Key to a Good Fishfinder

Many fishfinder reading issues stem not from the unit itself but from the transducer. Electrónica Náutica Balear installs transom, inboard, and through-hull transducers, including Airmar’s dual-channel CHIRP transducers for Garmin, Simrad, Lowrance, B&G, and Humminbird. Choosing the right type of transducer and its position on the hull makes all the difference in the bottom image, especially for fishing.
