Cable caps for GPS - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

As well as following procedure for connecting and disconnecting my fish finder, I also have caps for the plugs just like you asked.

Here it what I use.

They are soft rubber plastic caps, made with the same material as the caps that are on the back of your fish finder, for those unused plugs.

I have the same yellow caps as above and bought them for about a dollar at home depot. They were in the same section as all the screws.

Hang on...how are you fitting those round caps over the octagonal caps? (see my first corrosion pic). I thought I was looking for something that fits the inner round section?

Here's what I use, over the inner section. Very watertight. A dab of dielectric grease on the inside. I use the same on the back of the fish finder. I got them at Marshall's Industrial hardware in Miramar. They have a large selection of types and sizes.

Awesome, thank you so much! I'll head there later this week.

The caps are made out of a soft plastic/rubber type material. It easily stretches over the lowrance plugs, and covers them.
