What Good is a Fishfinder without a NuShield Antireflective Screen Protector

The calendar says it July and the lakes, rivers and ocean are teaming with fish so get out your rods, reels, hooks and pack them all up.  Clean up your boat and get it ready to go.

If you are adventurous then you might want to take part in the 2024 White Marlin Open tournament which will be held August 5th through 9th. This is a 50-plus-year-old deep-sea fishing tournament held annually in Ocean City, Maryland. The tournament awards prize money for catches of white marlin, blue marlin, tuna, wahoo, dolphin and swordfish. And the prize money is outrageous. In 2023, over $10 million dollars were awarded.

These anglers not only have to know the good fishing spots to catch the large ones, but they also rely on their electronic fishfinder instruments.  But the last thing on their mind should be eliminating the glare on the fish finder or GPS. And you probably have the same problem when you’re out on the water where most displays wash out in bright sunlight, making it hard to read the screen and see where the fish are hiding.

The best was to solve this problem is to install a special screen protector film over the display that will make the display visible again and also protect the screen from damage by the constant sunlight. The reduction of the sun’s glare will allow you see which way to point the boat and you’ll still be able to read the screen. How many times did you try to cover the display with one hand while steering with the other? And if you wear polarized sunglasses you have to take them off every time you look at the screen.

The NuShield DayVue antireflective film cuts down glare from the sun and gives your fish finder a level of protection that is not possible with factory coatings. The film does all of the hard work, including protection from scratching, smudging and it is even resistant to oil and other petroleum-based products. And if you are a salt water fisherman, the salty spray from the sea will no longer scrape or wear away the original protective coating. And if you wear polarized sunglasses you’ll find that the screen will still be visible.

The film has a tacky rubberized backing that is easy to apply. NuShield has many sizes to fit virtually any LCD displays found on fish finders, onboard GPS systems, tablets, laptops, and even your television. Just press it on, smooth it out and push out any bubbles trapped beneath the film. That’s it!

NuShield has led the field in screen protection, glare reduction and scratch safety for over 20 years. We currently provide film sizes for over 15,000 devices, ranging from smartphones to large television displays and we add new sizes every day as new devices with different sized screens become available.

Remember, you can’t escape the sun on the open water. Protecting your electronic display from sun damage is essential for a good captain. From scratches, salt water and glare, the NuShield DayVue film is the best way to help your GPS last longer. That is just smart boating.

Why wait? Get your fish protector ready for the season and order your screen protector today. Can’t find your model or size, contact us with your model and size, and we will cut a screen protector to fit for you.

New York Boat Show Introduces New Equipment

January might be cold outside, but in New York the Javits Center is filled with summertime fun. At the annual Boat Show manufacturers and dealers were exhibiting their newest boats, engines, equipment and accessories. NuShield visited the show to find GPS equipment offered by manufacturers from Garmin, Humminbird, Lowrance, Simrad and Si-Tex-Kodex.

Although most of these now have glass-like surfaces with anti-reflective coating there are still issues which these new displays do not address. A major one is the problem with the screen turning dark when the user is wearing polarized sunglasses.  NuShield addressed this issue with its DayVue film that keeps the display light even when wearing polarized sunglasses.

Another issue is the salt depositing on the display and when wiped off, can leave scratch marks over a period of time.  Also, the constant exposure to the sun can burn the glass on the display. By installing the NuShield DayVue film it is a cost effective solution to protect the display from marring and sun damage.  NuShield has added over 30 devices to its database and are available for sale. 

The NuShield film is easy to install and will withstand the harsh weather conditions on the water while providing excellent protection for the instruments.  Check out all the GPS, Fishfinder and monitor devices on our website.
