Is this radio waterproof? I'm looking for one to take with me in my kayak.

I have not submerged it in water completely but my instincts tell me no. It is extremely drop and dirt friendly. But to say it is %100 perfect waterproof I think would be a stretch. The company website says it is but I still wouldn't put it IN water. It is definitely splash proof and a quick dip or rain won't hurt it. So if you have it clipped to your pack or somewhere where it won't always be in water I think you'd be ok. If I had the money I would test it out but I'm not that interested to put the radios life at risk. Hope this helps!

It is fairly heavy due to the 3 large batteries (D), but there are a couple holes in the base for mounting on screw heads. I don't believe the unit is waterproof however.

Yes! It absolutely waterproof and floating as well.I'm very happy and secure with that device on my sea kayak.

Yes, Unit is water proof! I have one on my trolling unit up from and another mounted on my console, in all types of weather - haven't had any problems!

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.

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.

No it is not waterproof. I did ruin my first receiver by reversing the polarity ... So be careful with the + -

I have been using this depth finder on my "Ocean" kayak for several months without problems. My kayak has a suspended battery compartment in the front storage hatch and the transducer mounted through a scupper hole. No problems to date with not being waterproof. Depth finder helps a lot when trolling or deciding where to fish. Catch just as many fish as the bass boat I got rid of.

I personally have this item (but in color). And it works it works fine for what you need. You can adjust the sensitivity as well, which is always good.Are you looking to mount the transducer to the kayak? From my experience too - mine has been soaked with water/sea spray and I have not had any issues. However, you will need to wipe any saltwater off (if you are doing any ocean kayaking). This product is simple and easy to use.MarineHQ.

Yes, it is waterproof. However, it snaps a lot of nothing shots. The battery compartment got a bunch of some type of bugs in it while out in the woods.

I am not an expert on radios, like someone who is trying to sell you a transmitter for a boat, but I would think it would be ok. Of course there is the water issue but I would think you should be able to overcome that problem fairly easily. You might go to the site that specializes in boat transmitters and see what, if anything, makes theirs different. There are so many different way to setup your right and left turns and speed. I wish you good luck with your project. Robert

I see NO way it could be water proof.(Resistant.?) as for a Boat, where I am, I barely get any signal, on water ,doubtful.

Hi Dave, This antenna maybe weatherproof but not waterproof. It's designed for indoor use, it just won't last as long outside. Hope this helps.Phil

The camera is somewhat weather-proof but not exactly waterproof. It can withstand getting a bit wet in the rain or some splashes in a kayak but if it were submerged in the water, it will almost certainly get ruined.

not waterproof... don't take it under water. it's good for riding in the rain though, all openings are sealed with rubber. ie the button is rubber, the USB charge opening has a rubber stopper, and the battery opening has a rubber seal.
