Is it ok to use 100% pure isopropyl alcohol to cleaner the multi pin connectors for the digital radar.? If yes, the work will be done outside so are there any tricks of the trade that I need to know other than use lint free stuff to perform the actual cleaning. FYI the mast was down for a refit and the radar worked fine before the refit’s start. So now that it is to go together I went to buy contact cleaner which turned out to be not as easy as one would think. Ergo, my question Thanks Lee Levent Marina, Izmir Turkey -- https://www.facebook.com/leezeforsale/ http://leezeforsale.com https://whereisleeze.blogspot.com/ leezerphtrawlerforsale@gmail.com

Lee: Google Caig Laboratories. I have used their D100L to clean and protect contacts. It was recommended by several pros. The little 7.4ml bottle will last a long time. Amazon has it as well. Frank Burrows    79 43' Viking   Piney Narrows  Chesapeake Bay >

Lee, Contact cleaner is about 10% isopropanol (and the rest naphtha, not including propellant). I don't see any harm in using it, but it might not clean as well as you'd like, especially if there is any gum or grease in there. You might try WD-40 first (if that's available there), and then use the alcohol to finish up and remove the WD-40 residue. Hope that helps. -Sean m/y Vector lying Bayou La Batre, LA http://OurOdyssey.BlogSpot.com On 12/11/19 5:20 AM, LAL via Trawlers-and-Trawlering wrote: > Is it ok to use 100% pure isopropyl alcohol to cleaner the multi pin > connectors for the digital radar.? > > If yes, the work will be done outside so are there any tricks of the trade > that I need to know other than use lint free stuff to perform the actual > cleaning. > > FYI the mast was down for a refit and the radar worked fine before the > refit’s start.
