is coil water proof?

If the connection is tight it is suppose to be water proof. Our son has this same one and he does use it in the water.

coils are advertised to be 100% water proff. NOT the controll box. One post I read stated to put control box in a zip lock bad so if you dropped it there would be some protection. Not a bad idea really.

Mary,Yes, the coil and shaft are waterproof. Just not the housing, (box) where the digital readout is. Hope this helps!

Hi: I contacted Fisher about the search coils when I purchased my detector and their technical department said that the coils were waterproof all the way up to the connector at the end of the cable.

only the coil is not the control box, so be careful not to drop it in the water

yes the coil is water proof but the box is not i only put my detector about a foot in the water and keep it upright so the water does not draw up the cord into the box .

Coils are interchangeable and I've had luck in water up to a foot deep so far. It works great locating coins and nails in my yard and in searching around the lake beach.

I think it's water proof. I mounted mine on the chassis and it is working fine. Only had in use for a few weeks now.

yes it is water proof but this motor does not last very long, in one year i when threw four of these motors before i when with a brush less motor

No , water resistant yes but not proof . Hide the amp under tank , seat . Neck cover or in a bag . Plant of wire to reach . I own 3 and they are great . Many people I meet ask what I have cause it's very clear . I also hook my phone to it and use IHeart Radio. My Radio works well as it came with a antenna .

While the machine itself is not waterproof, the coil is and can be used in shallow water. All F75's have a lighted display. The F70 does not have a lighted display.

The heating coils are outside the stainless steel tank, so no matter. The condenser coils are (I believe) also stainless steel clad with aluminum cooling fins.

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.

Hi Eric, It is water resistant. However, it should not to be immersed or come into continuous contact with water. -Anthony

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

It is covered in heat shrink tubing and surely is water resistant. I think that a bit of rtv on each end would make it fairly impervious to water.

No siree-bob! Just the end up to the threads is waterproof, it HAS to be screwed into the tun or it will short out.

Neither, that I know of. The fittings can be real tight, and probably would be resistant. I have had it out in the rain with no problem what so ever (doesn't usually rain too hard here in Arizona (Grin), but have never submerged it. My only hassle with it is there are too many settings. Having said that, I'd buy another in a skinny minute. Hope this helps

Though the coil may be water proof, if used at the shore, the slightest wave will splash the coil connection to the housing, which is NOT waterproof and it may short out the unit causing it to constantly whine. Not for use at water line in my opinion only use on dry land or away from waves.

Yeah I have noticed that if the heating coil becomes exposed to air the heating controller trips and it won't turn back on until you put the coil unit in a freezer for a few hours... I guess it has to do with the heat transfer rate off of the coil. So; a short answer would be no, it has to be submerged in order to work... Hope this helps!

The search coil and cable to it are but submerging the circuitry would be a mistake. It is a good unit however if you are looking for one you can dive with this is not it.

I water tested 5 ipad Nuuds twice and all failed. I would not trust this product to be waterproof. Water resistant yes...waterproof no.
