I have the garmin mounted to my 14' boat. Water splashes on it occasionally, I have never had a problem with it. I think it would be fine in a kayak.

The top part has mesh, so it will not stay dry. The bottom cooler part will not be exposed to outside water. I go kayaking with it all the time my solution was to buy waterproof pouches for dry items. For the money and portability it's a great buy.

There is a difference between water resistant and water tight. It works fine in the rain however, I wouldn't recomment submerging the device in water. Why would you want to?

It is sealed so salt water should not be an issue. I also use in sot kayak. I bought a plastic container slightly larger than the battery. I put industrial grade Velcro on the bottom of the box and kayak bottom so the battery is contained and the wire connections to the battery are protected. The box is for holding the battery not for waterproofing. It is easy to remove for charging but stays secure and protected.

I use mine on my kayak. I have never submerged it, but it gets splashed some. So far no problems.

Yes, it is virtually water tight if not completely. This is a very good product.

I've used mine outdoors for a year with no issue. It appears to be a pretty weather tight unit.

I always launch from the bay or inlet when I fish. I launch other times from the beach so I know what you mean by very wet. I am not sure it would hold up to that kind of use/abuse. There are some more open connections like the battery that I would be concerned with. It is a good unit and I am sure there is a way to make it more water/ wave proof. It depends on your yak.

You will not have any problem transmitting through your Kayak. However, I don't think the unit is waterproof!

Should be more than adequate. I have a hobie outback that is little over 12' and if any problem it is too big. It is not really moisture proof but keeps dirt and debris off. Moisture obviously not an issue for a kayak.

Yes, but mk sure it's held tightly. It may let a slight ant of water in. I used an air suction/circulator I bought on amazon to help with that.

I'm not sure how to answer this. Yes it is water tight. I have had it on the boat for the second season and it does not leak. But as far as the boat getting moisture in it and mildewing. I have never been able to keep that from happening. Every time I get ready to go out I have to clean it. Also get the exact size I got one a size larger and regret it.

The unit should be waterproof. For more accuracy please call 800-835-5011 and inquire about item DPP400W-0-8.

Oops, I forgot to add that the unit is sturdy and definitely waterproof. You won't be disappointed:)

Yes it is waterproof. I mounted it on my ATV and used it outside in rain and snow to operate a winch.

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.
