Does the electrical part waterproof ? I

It's just a watch battery and a led light (which is very bright) so no its not waterproof.

Although it is in there pretty tight, I don't think it is waterproof. If it was, I'm sure Victorinox would tout it. And if they did, a knife gets a lot of abuse, and it would be hard to maintain. I'd dip mine in water for you, but I'm afraid what might happen! Sorry I couldn't be more help. Maybe write the company.

i don't have any idea if it is waterproof. i have mine inside a garage and it works just fine.

Evans,All the connections on the wiring are considered "water resistant" not "water proof" wiring connections will resist rain but for best results you should use silicone dielectric on the actual connection metal contacts. This will prevent any corrosion in case water does enter the connector.It is a good product, good luck

I am not sure, the light only opens on one end and there is an "O" ring there, but I can't say for sure that it is waterproof. thanks.

I am not sure if the unit is waterproof, I am guessing it has some water resistance built in but I am guessing if it was they would say it on the packaging.

Yes. It is 100% waterproof. I was a little weary of that feature too, but I used it in the tub this weekend with no problems. The charging receptacle is covered by the purple silicone when it is not being charged.

It's not waterproof if that's what you're asking, but otherwise YES. I bought it specifically to use on camping trips as an on-site electrical source and for inside my tent. Worked great! I even connected it to a longer extension cord at times. No heat output so that's good. Hope this helps!

The answer is between probably not and definitely not. The cabling and the battery are all inside the 'Weatherproof' case. The unit itself may be waterproof but the connections (wires to transducer and battery) would not be happy submerged in saltwater. If the whole thing took a dunk you would want to wash it all off with freshwater and check everything. Too much time if it happens every trip. I would opt for something more self contained.

It is as waterproof as any covered grill is. If it is the electrical connections that you are asking about they are quite well covered and enclosed and the cord is sealed plastic like any cord these days. I don't worry about it, it does fine in any rain I am willing to stand out in. But,to use it in a downpour would be pretty silly.

yes, it is waterproof. Mine is outside on the patio and exposed to all weather.

It could be used outdoors as long as the electrical connections are waterproofed.

I haven't used it outside but, yes, it appears to be waterproof or at least water resistent.

No, it has a water resistant gasket on the battery door, but it isn't waterproof.

Not exactly, you have to seal the base with silicon in order to make it water proof. When installed, the outlet top is very high (about 6 mm) and has a double wedge protection and a groove to direct any spill on the opposite side of the holes of the electric outlet

Frank, no the switch is not waterproof, there's approximately an inch opening on the back between the feet and the back of the unit (this is where the battery cables connect into the switch). The Battery cable connections would be exposed to the elements. The switch will work mounted outside, but I'd suggest putting a coating over the exposed battery cable wire/connection nut.

If by that you mean "is it water proof", almost nothing electrical that isn't sealed is safe for outdoor use. On the other hand it is ruggedly built with an on-off switch to turn on-off electrical power. But I wouldn't leave it outside in the rain.

I would think so. As with all electric connections you want to be as waterproof as possible. I've haven't had any problems with the unit so far in my application. A remote computer room
