Is the driver completely submersible and not visible above the waterline?

the black plastic ring contains the floating apparatus. that remains visible above the waterline. All else is below the water line.

The unit floated about half way submerged when I first got it. After a few months, it burned through the flotation foam, and it sank. It settled on the rock below the waterline; however, it did keep the ice open even then.

I dont know what you are calling the driver .the heating element is below the water line.It works great.

I have mine floating on the surface, but there is a foam ring inside that you can remove and it will sit on the bottom. Since it is black it is not very noticable on the surface if you have it floating.

I have two, one is exposed to weather. Both have worked flawlessly. I think they are very well made and certainly intended to be mounted outdoors. Submersible, probably not.

I do not have that issue though. I purchased for underwater usage and it works fine. I think for some people that not work might be due to the seal of the wires into the pump. Double check before you use it and put some silicon or hot glue to secure it if that is the case.

It should be minimally submersible. The IP67 rating means the device is "dust tight" and submersible up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes.

The coil and shaft are waterproof and can be used underwater. The control box and battery box are not watertight. You can get rain covers but they are not submersible. Display is backlit.

Not sure.. but mine is submersed without any issues. Now that Im thinking about it... its probably the MINIMUM water line......

From my understanding the speed controller is not waterproof. Hope this helps.

Not at all. The steering servo is water-resistant, but that's the only component that is remotely waterproof. That being said, you can take it in light mud or dewy grass without much issue, just watch for rust and excess water on the speed control.

Not sure. When traveling highways, all bodies of water show up on the device, but have no experience while actually on the water. Sorry.

btw people it is NOT a submersible pump. the pump is in a wAter resistant case but sits outside the bucket. one hose goes in the bucket to suck up the water that travels back upthe hose and out the other end. water does not even go through the pump.

I would not call it all waterproof. The receiver and servos are pretty well sealed but the battery and motor are removable and exposed. There is a splash guard on the motor and the battery connection is splash proof but it would not work for long under water. My kids run it through puddles and mud all day without a problem. Upgraded the battery to a lipo for quicker charging and longer run times.

Submersible for less than a minute. Dropped mine in a pool and it was fine. Also left it out in heavy rain for about 4 hours and it still works. Although the light is a bit dimmer and I noticed some corrosion around the battery terminals. Probably from where I didn't open it up to let it dry out.

It works fine above water, but the second it goes under it cuts out. So no underwater action, which is what I wanted.

I am not certain as I have not tested it under water. Generally slow setting epoxy is so it should be.

Ours is never completely submerged, because the float triggers the motor before it gets covered with water. I don't know how it would work if it were completely submerged. It would have to be vertical, though, for the float to work.

The controller isn't waterproof but it's mounted inside of the vehicle so it should stay dry.

Referring to my 2005 model, not very... There is no gasket or other mechanism from stopping water from seeping into the battery chamber. It will do fine in the rain for a while, but it is definitely not submersible. I do not know if newer models are different.
