replacement. (Repair fee and return shipping will be charged at normal rates)

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION! 

Allowing saltwater and contaminants to dry on housing can damage functions and 

O-rings possibly causing water leakage. Clean with fresh water only, using a soft, dry cloth to 

wipe away water.

 

A complete housing overhaul is recommend once every year.

1. After use in salt water, wash off salt and other contaminants by soaking empty Housing, 

with Lens Port attached, thoroughly in a bucket of fresh water (lukewarm) for 10 to 20 

minutes.

2. Manipulate   all   buttons   and   dials   several   times   to   flush   out   salt   deposits   and   other 

contaminants.

3. Wipe any water off Housing with a soft dry cloth.

4. Remove Lens Port and open Back Cover.

5. Using the O-ring Removal Pick, remove O-rings.

6. Clean O-ring grooves and contact surfaces using a clean cotton swab. DO NOT clean 

Housing or optional Lens Ports with volatile organic solvents or chemical cleaning agents 

such as thinner, gasoline, and benzine, etc.

7. Perform O-RING GREASING & MAINTENANCE as instructed below before re-installing. 

O-RING GREASING & MAINTENANCE ( 1)

CAUTION!

 DO NOT use silicone grease other than that provided by Seatool/Recsea.

 

Before conducting grease-up of the housing Back Cover and Port O-rings, thoroughly 

clean O-ring grooves (Back Cover and Port), and O-ring contact surfaces (Back Cover and 

Port). Be sure to also apply a thin layer of grease to contact surfaces.

CAUTION!  

This  housing   uses   two   (2)   O-rings,   one   (1)   housing   main   body   O-ring   which 

comes in contact with the housing main body Contact Surface shown below, and one (1) Port 

O-ring. Please be sure to install the correct O-ring in the proper place. Failure to do so will 

result in water leakage.

1. Using the O-ring Removal Pick, remove O-rings.

2. Clean sand, salt, other contaminants and old grease from O-rings.

3. Clean O-ring grooves and O-ring contact surfaces using a clean cotton swab.

4. Visually and physically check  each O-ring by running it through finger tips, feeling for 

cuts, cracks or any other defects that may cause leakage. Such defects will cause water 

leakage, so be sure to replace the O-ring. Be careful not to stretch or pull the O-ring too 

much.

5. Squeeze a rice grain sized bead of silicone grease on your thumb and forefinger. Taking 

care not to pull or stretch the O-rings too much, uniformly spread grease on O-ring. Too 

little grease may cause the O-ring to twist in the groove, possibly causing water leakage.

6. Place O-ring in O-ring grooves, making sure that it is uniform, not twisted or bulging out, 

possibly causing water leakage. When closing back cover, visually check O-ring surface, 

tracing a finger over it making sure no hair, lint or other contaminants are attached.
