My enter button on my 110 is sticky and does not want to function properly, any ideas? a little air from a can? clean water then air dry?

Do you mean the rubber part of the switch you touch or the electrical contacs inside are sticking. If the rubber parts, cleaning with water may help, so might a little silicone oil. I believe you will find the electrical contacts are sealed against external moisture, so air from a can or water applied externally will be of little value in freeing the electrical contacts of the switch. That probably requires a trip back to Lowrance service.

I have used armor all. Just don't spray on the screen.

I had a sticky button once and it was the button that was sticking in at an angle. I used a electronic cleaning spray from Radio Shack and sprayed it around all of my buttons and now do that as preventive maintenance. Some times crud gets behind the button and causes them to stick in a down position. The spray cleans out oil or crud but does not hurt the membrane on the key pad.
