Tom R., Yes, this unit may be mounted on the outside of a boat. No 8 watt is available but there is a 15 Watt (sp-1500). The ToolCritter Team

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.

Its a sealed unit with no maintenance needed or possible. Its basically a huge version of, like a power pack for an rc car. It took us 3 cloudy days without shore power minimal consersation to get down to 20%. Still started the outboard without hooking up the spare.

I do not think that the unit is water proof! You could install it under an over hang? I think that Amazon has outdoor motion detectors The screws on this particular unit are very hard to open, very small screw, I stripped most of them.

There's room to put an electric motor on it but it does not come pre-drilled, nor does it have any mounts already set up for the motor. You'll have to find a motor that has some kind of clamp that will fasten down to the actual boat itself. Hope that helps

The head unit is not waterproof. Speakers can get water on them and still be fine from what I've done getting in and out of the boat, but none of this stuff is waterproof.

I am not whether it is waterproof, but based on the description of the products, it should be. It comes with two screws and you can mount it anywhere. I mounted them outside of my garage. By now I am very happy with the purchase.

Home Depot rates it as 40 watts, however, they are also charging $250! I have also seen 65 watts quoted but I couldn't find the link. I think you will be safe with 65 watts. Great for boats and RVs as it should run off an inverter.

I believe that would be fine. The instructions show it attached to a boat. There are mounting holes.

Yes, it can be placed outdoors. The critical controls are protected by a clear plastic cover. Make sure your power source is fully grounded if you live in a wet environment.

I hooked mine up to 12V DC (boat). You should contact the manufacturer for that info. It's way above my pay grade.

The only power is the AC plug. Portability in this case means it can be used in or out of your boat, since it is light and compact.

Satco, the manufacturer does rate the socket for 150W max.It is also not suited for use outdoors. There is no provision for preventing water entry.

You have to mount the transducer on the outside of the boat, so if you have a place to mount it on the outside, then I see no problem. The cable will then run inside the boat to the display. Power is connected to the display. Good luck

The unit should be waterproof. For more accuracy please call 800-835-5011 and inquire about item DPP400W-0-8.

Not sure I would use on a boat trailer due to water exposure. This is electric.

It doesnt say waterproof on the radio itself, doesnt really look waterproof to me. It would be good on a boat, if you dont drop it in the drink!
