Is this unit waterproof?

We have used the pinpointer in holes with water in them, the pointer has worked fine. We have used it in when raining works fine. If you drop it in water I really don't know. I feel if you let it dry out I feel it would still work. We have used ours in mud and water filled holes and works great

No it is not. My 11-year-old son, who used this pinpointer, actually ruined it by using it in very wet, saturated dirt. They do sell waterproof units, but they are significantly more expensive (in the $130+ range). If you use this pinpointer in dry soil/sand, it works very well and is dependable.

Not sure about that. I live in south GA and haven't had a chance to use it.

These units are not waterproof. They are sealed fairly well and might hold up as long as they don't get wet.

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

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

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

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.

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

I would say its very water resistant not waterproof. I have it mounted under my back bumper for camping. Its been there a year and works fine. The inside of the unit shows little sign of corrosion. The spring lid snaps shut and holds tight.

I do not know if it is "officially" weatherproof but mine got rained on last September (albeit light rain) and unit was not affected.

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

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

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.

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.
