How water proof are the units? i.e. for kayaking in ocean water.

Probably not very waterproof. I would only assume, I haven't had it in the water.

I would not trust them to be waterproof. There is no indication from the mfg. that they are.

These ear buds are a waste of money. Very poor quality and too expensive for what you get. I had two sets and they both failed in less than a year.

I've never tried them in a wet environment, and I don't think I will. They don't seem waterproof at all. Seem to be normal headset construction.

I would not put these or any conventional sub or soeaker on a boat. I would look into SpeakerCraft they make outstanding powerful speakers. Yes they will coast more but they make water proof and will last you years. Mount anything not rated for outdoor and you might get a year out of it.

Jordan, although this case is not waterproof I was also thinking about using it in my Kayak. Most decent GPS/Fish finders carry atleast an IPx7 rating basically what this means is that it will withstand incidental exposure to water of up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes. So IMHO I think you would be fine using this, if the boat flips make sure it comes out of the water ASAP and dry it off. Shouldn't be a problem.

I have never used it wet or allowed the main unit to get wet. I doubt that it is water proof. My recommendation is to not get it wet, but other may have had no problem. Better safe than sorry.

They are self contained and should have no problem on a boat. Unit is sealed. Read q/a on this b4 and others state it is water tight. Good luck.

yes they are waterproof to a point.. I have sank this one. it dryed and still runs. It will stop if the batt plugs get wet. This a awesome boat!!!! buy it. you will love it. The charger it comes with is junk. Get a "Losi mini peak charger". It will burn up motors if it does not have small vent holes. Heat seems WAY more dangerous than Wet on these newer boats. I even put a 30x30x10 fan in my boat. well over 1.5 years and 100 runs!! keep it cool!!- cheers, Curtis

We are in the marine industry building barges and Tug boat and they are exposed to moisture a lot and occasionally get slightly submerged in water (appears to be water resistant), but I don't know if they are water proof... Suggest checking with Manufacturer

Yes....its been a great solution for my kayaks. Not super cheap but bulletproof.

Yes, I use mine in the ocean all the time. I have two ocean kayaks and I rarely use them anymore. It's so much easier to transport the sevylor. I highly recommend buying the "skeg" when using the kayak in oceans and lakes. The skeg also helps in rivers, but the skeg can present problems with boulders, rocks, branches and debris in a river. The skeg helps to keep the kayak tracking in a straight line. The inflatable seats are pretty useless. I use small canvas folding stadium type chairs instead and secure them to the kayak with rope.

They are not specifically "marine" speakers but they are made of materials that will not be affected by moisture. Salt water is another story though.

They are marine rated. Meaning they will survive in a wet environment. They are not waterproof per say. I have them in my motorcycle fairing. Not all that pleased with the sound so far. Looking at other speakers currently.

Sorry, but because it has an electric motor, I would not reccomend to use it underwater. It is not water proof.
898065
Yes they are water proof, but to a certain extent. You dont want them getting soaked all the time.

Mine has been waterproof. I have had it on my Kayak for 2 years now and its always dry as a bone when I take it out. Its sitting outside in full weather too.

The best kayak holders I have ever owned. Mine however are in my garage. Living at the beach I can say almost everything rust except stainless steel. These do have a very good paint job and with good maintence should work. Bill

I wouldn't recommend it. It's a very stable kayak, but when you have the element of waves, the likelihood that it will take on water increases. I would say to get a kayak that is made specifically for the ocean.

Yeah, you probably don't want to put it directly under the water though. I took it kayaking and it got splashed a few times and still worked fine.
