Is this unit waterproof?

The sender is but the dash gauge I don't think the back is I wash the front side of mine all the time with no issue

I have had mine for two seasons and no problems at all but I keep my boat coverd when not in use. The depth finder comes with a protective cap and keep it coverd when not in use you should not have a problem

The sensor is waterproof, the dash mounted display should not be immersed in water
294120
No but it has a cap to use when the boat is not in use / We have used ours a year and get some splash with the waves but no issues

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.

It has gaskets that seal the unit, but I can't say it's water proof. It's probably water resistant so that if you dropped it into a bucket of water, there would be no harm. As a diver, I don't think I'd take this under water.

No, I could be wrong but i had thought it was waterproof. I rinse mine out after every use and it's fine after almost a year.

The level switch is water proof but the control unit has holes for cooling and an opening for the alarm so if it was mounted in the weather it would fail.

Absolutely. I just checked with my contractor and he says 'yes'......water away.We love this unit and it is very quiet and efficient.

This particular unit is not waterproof. The imw575, which is a bit more expensive, is waterproof.

Hi, I don't know if the entire unit is waterproof/resistant. I've had the panel exposed to morning dew and it was fine, but I don't know if rain or water were to get into the usb connector if it would continue to function properly. It might be worth trying to DIY waterproof to the usb connector.Good luck...sorry I didn't have a straightforward answer for you.

Nothing on paperwork indicated waterproof, just that it is for outdoor use. When I installed it, I caulked around the edges of the back plate cover. I had one of these at another house and it is still there and works 15 years later.

Mary Ann Sheets, the unit is not suitable for anything other than high and dry service. To expand on your original question, the unit is not splash resistant or submersible. It will not survive temperature extremes. I would not leave it in the hot sun and I would protect it from freezing.

I have this unit for almost a year, and I have been under some showers, even heavy showers and I had no problem, it's really water resistant!

Perhaps it is mildly splash resistant, but I would not consider it waterproof. I would not want to dunk mine in the sink, let alone in 30 feet of water. In inclement weather, I use mine in a cloth bag with a separate PTT speaker-mike. Heat dissipation seems not to be a problem and the radio is pretty well protected from the weather. There are just too many ways to breach the seals and holes in the case. Even if the radio case were sealed (which it isn't), the battery does not seal against the radio. Do not consider it waterproof.

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

The unit is not water proof but could easily be put in a water proof container.

Yes. However, the unit stopped working within 4 months of installation due to water intrusion.

Yes, it is waterproof. Battery life depends on usage, but should last a couple of years. The batteries are replaceable.

If installed properly they are water resistant, but if water gets in the unit it will fail.The electronics are not protected.

It is not waterproof, no "O" rings to seal working parts. Will resist moderate drizzle/rain, or at least mine has so far. Light is really bright for such a small unit. I suggest you invest in Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries. I know they are expensive, but they last a really long time in this unit. I got rid of the head band and used nylon cable ties to secure it to my safety vest.
