can you leave this cooler outside on a boat

Would not recommend in open air in the elements when not in use (i.e., rain, etc) as there is a motor/exhaust on the side (top if cooler is on its side like the photo I see while writing this). Also if boat is in ocean/salt water expect corrosion over time on the internal electronics. We use ours in car / in hotel rooms.

We line our cooler with it and add ice inside. We use it while boating in 100+° weather and it keeps our things cold all day.

no brother. you must put the sensor outside and attached to the hull of your boat.

Yes,you can leave it out in the rain on, works fine. But you should put it away for winter before it freezes.

Since it has a motor in it that attaches to a car outlet, or, when inside, to an electrical outlet, it is heavier than most coolers. Also, there is venting on the side of the cooler to reduce the heat from the motor. I do not think you want to take this to a beach where there is sand.

Yes... It can be mounted on the exterior of the boat. It is waterproof and can be splashed or sprayed with a hose when cleaning the boat. It needs to be mounted high enough so it won't get submerged for a long period of time as this may allow water to get in behind the device causing other problems for the boat. Many boat manufacturers that use Clarion gear install this controller near the swim platform of their boats...

I don't see why not if your boat is covered. I would not let anything out uncovered but this is a nice box and will work fine if taken care of.

Do not leave it out in the rain or snow. The insulation in the lid gets wet and will cause the lid to seperate. We keep our on the deck and move it to the patio when it rains. It's a great little cooler.

There is no way this would work as a cooler. The inside is not completely closed off to the elements.

I wouldn't use it on a boat. It gets condensation in it when you're sitting out in the rain: I'm most certain it would get ruined being in such a water rich environment.

of course. that is how evaporative coolers work. if you don't want that you need a refrigeration unit (and a vent to the outside)

I would think so just when you're done running the boat . a syringe of some kind .to rinse the saltwater out and then spray some w_d 40 in the cooling system

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.

Not sure. I live in Georgia where its hot and humid. The cooler stay out on the deck most of the summer. I stored it in a shed over the winter mainly to keep the leaves from collecting around it. It's in great shape and back on the deck.

I leave mine on our boat all winter and it still works. It's a gel so maybe it doesn't freeze.

I use this rack under my building in Florida during winter when I'm there and in my garage during summer to store my Kayaks and SUP's. I'm not sure how the rack would last in the Florida climate and I don't like to leave my kayaks exposed to the sun.

It has a motion sensor so, under ice, it may not work well. Not to mention it is not waterproof. If you mount it high near the top of the cooler, it will work very well.
