captpierre Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 I feel kinda dumb. Just installed my new Lowrance HDS 7 (successfully I hope). But I can't get the big "LOWRANCE" cover off. Is there some kind or trick to it? Nothing in the manual about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFSC Kevin Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 um.. is it clipped by the side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRT8 smoker craft Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 just grab it on both sides and pull it off also don't leave it on unless the boats in the drive way it can damage the screen apparently they are on there pretty tight and take a bit of force to get off you wont break it .

Billy Bob Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 (edited) Send it to me and I will give it a complete test for the year...."if" OK I will send it back in the fall.... I'm sure you have it off by now BUT the real problem is keeping it on while towing....MANY others have lost their covers and now Lowrance recommends you do NOT tow with it on....but it's much better if you do to keep the nasty sun and rain off of it...so I made a strap the goes around it with Velcro strapping (about $3 or $4).

SRT8 smoker craft Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 How can leaving the cover on damage the screen? The inner guide that keeps it in place rubs on the screen so when your travelling either on the trailer or on the water the vibration can damage it .
