Scuba Forum / Scuba Equipment / August 2003possible to try to repair depth gauge by myself?how ?
I have a very old depth gauge after 10 years of no use i used it again and it got flooded. It doesnt work now. I opened the clear cover by unscrewing it. There is an oring. The mechanicals part are a lot rusted, how can I best clean this rust ? There is also a lot of salt in the plastic container inside how to better clean the salt ? Is it worth it give it a try clean it and try again ? Chance it will work ? Can I use same oring ? need to put silicon paste? Please give me all ur recommendations.

Salt disolves in water and fresh water probably won't do any more damage to your guage than has already been done. > Is it worth it give it a try clean it and try again ? Probably not. > Chance it will work ? Not real good. Remember, it has to work correctly. Just working is not good enough. Lee Throw it away and buy a new one. > I have a very old depth gauge after 10 years of no use i used it again > and it got flooded.

If you have time to kill, try opening it up and soaking it in white vinegar for 15 minutes, agitating constantly. Rinse in very hot water, and then wash it in hot water and Simple Green, Purple Stuff, or 409. Rinse again in hot water. Put a new O ring in (lightly lubed with silicone) and then figure out how to tell if it is really working correctly. |
