On both cars I tucked it way inside the rear bumper away from wheel splash. So far so good.

I installed it (or rather my mechanic did) under a snowmobile hood so as to warn the driver when reverse was engaged. I had sufficient room for this application.

install on rear undercarriage as high up as you can away from tire splashing

Thank you David. I haven't completely figured out where I want to put it on the pontoon. How well is the unit watertight? If the unit was mounted close to the water do you think it would get any water inside? Thanks again.

Has holes in bottom and comes with rubber washers so it will be water proof after you install.

Would be better and safer to put an outside waterproof outlet and plug it in. Would not trust Rain Bird honoring warranty by cutting the chord...

This is not waterproofing specification. In use at the place where rain hits, you need to waterproof. (I did the seal to the junction etc. with silicon)

If you used this outside I would keep it up off the ground with a shelf that fit the whole width and I would put a fitted waterproof cover over it . You could waterproof whole item so that it would not absorb moisture but I would still cover it.

Not sure. Mine is installed in my boat where rain can't get to it. It works great but I can't answer your question about being installed where rain can get to it.

definitely not waterPROOF. resistant? maybe. just buy the thing, if it gets ruined it is cheap enough to chalk it up.

Due to weather elements and creatures outdoors. I wouldn't advise a permanent install. What I do is I have hooks setup inside and outside where I want it. On a clear warm day I take it outside hook it to the hooks with an extension cord for power. When I'm done I mount it back inside. All that's kept outside are the hooks where you hung the screen up.

The product will install outdoors, but must be mounted so that water will not pool inside the housing.

No. It is not designed for this area of constant exposure to water. Not water proof or water resistance. Ok in a protected area. Mine is mounted in the helm area but it is under a canvas top. Hope this answers your question? Expensive item if you have to constantly keep replacing.

This box is not water proof.if you mount it outside you would want to drill holes in the bottom to let the water out.

The sounder unit has no weather sealing. The bell push has a flexible plastic band between the two parts that separate and that I assume is there to prevent water from getting in.

You have to buy the installation kit separately. Once you have the kit, you can attach to walls/pillars/etc. Install at an angle so that no collection of water can occur during the rain season.

Ingot my gazebo 5 years ago from an outlet so not sure which one you have but I guess they are all shaped differently on top, it is s good quality I'm assuming it's water proof

I would not recommend installing this anywhere that a drop of water could splash or spray on the hot bulbs which are exposed. better to install outside of the shower enclosure, in an area that remains dry and protected from overspray.

Can be used outdoors, but unit is not waterproof, not to left out or used in wet conditions.
