is the coil waterproof?

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.

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.

The manufacturer tells me not to put even the coil it in water. It is not waterproof

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

The beach will be completely safe. If you use it in the water, fresh or salt, keep the controls above the water. I would recommend rinsing the coil and shaft with fresh clean water after use in salt water. Good hunting.

Yes it's waterproof. It does fine in rain and such. You planning to scuba with it?

Yes, it is waterproof. It has been out in the weather all winter and through heavy rains and it still works perfect. Would recommend it to anyone. It protects my motor home.

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

It is water resistant, but not water proof. It has an open USB port that has a plug...that will easily let water into the device if submerged. It would not survive jumping into the lake...but probably would survive a sprinkler or rain as it is located under the neck with the collar clamp.

it has been made water resistant to the best of their ability - rubber sealed and capped - if a device is plugged in, it will most likely loose some of that resistance.Hope this helps

No, it is not water proof. My device didn't survive the washer/dryer. Have to buy a new one!

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, the coil can be submerged in water. Of course the top electronics can not be.

Yes it is water proof. But its very tough with the usb charging port cover. Its is kind of a very soft gel which will keeps coming out of the port, no matter how properly you push into the port it will come out for sure. I lost that cover as its came out during my ride. And now my light unit is no more water proof.

my guess is yes - it's definitely a chrome coil, but I'm not sure what it's lined with - obviously something waterproof, but I don't know if it's an actual tube. But it works great.
