Is this unit waterproof?

The rain hasn't caused any problems, exposing it under water might be a problem make sure the charging/reset port is closed with the screw and rubber attachment that comes with it

Mine is very waterproof, as I swim with mine. Reception is not fabulous but could get quite a few stations.

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.

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.

It is waterproof...I leave mine out year round...in harsh below zero weather to 100+...not a problem.

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.

The unit is sealed and weatherproof. We DO make sure the unit is dry before packing it back up but that's to prevent mold.

No. The actual control unit is not water proof. I ran irrigation wire to my LED light from the garage where the control unit is housed.

I don't believe it is. I checked my user info and there wasn't anything referencing appropriateness of outside use. By merely looking at the units - they don't look watertight. I would recommend contacting the company - they are very helpful. 1-877-298-9082

Don't thank so, as it is not declared waterproof. I use it in the interior of the house.

It has speakers on both sides, so I wouldn't think that it is waterproof. It is however, an excellent speaker that I would HIGHLY recommend!

Yes, it is waterproof. I've used it for a week, showering every day, washing dishes,etc. and it does appear to be waterproof.

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

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

Not sure as I picked up unit for someone else. I know they are happy with how it functions, I am sure it could be put in a dry bag if it needs to be waterproof

I am not exactly sure if it is waterproof because i have not intentionally put water on the console. However, the radio is installed in a mounting box to keep it out of the weather and the speakers are just mounted in the open. I have not experienced any problems with them even though the speakers sit in the weather everyday.

yes the unit is waterproof. you can build anything you want beyond the panel as long as you have a voltage regulator and your electrical system and panel(s) are working on the same voltage. EX: 1 panel, 1 12V regulator for 12V system; 2 panels, 1 24V regulator for 24V system unless you charge EACH 12v battery in a series then you need 2 12V regulators.
