The end of the season doesn't mean forgetting about onboard technology. Electronic systems are the heart of modern navigation and deserve specific care during the off-season.

Why is it important?

Humidity, salt, and low temperatures can seriously affect the performance and lifespan of equipment.

Key steps for effective maintenance:

1. Safe Disconnect: Turn off and remove portable or easily disconnectable devices for storage in a dry, protected location.

2. Cleaning and inspection: Remove traces of salt and moisture, check connectors and cables to prevent corrosion.

3. Software update: Take this time to install the latest versions and improvements.

4. Battery protection: Check charge levels and consider disconnecting them if they will not be used.

Good maintenance now means fewer surprises and more enjoyment when the good weather returns.
