How well does this hold up in marine environment

The design doesn't provide an off button, so any bump to the buttons can wake the device from sleep mode, causing your battery to die. The device can switch on with barely a touch and will be dead in a few hours. For boating you should look for a brand/design with a proper on off switch. This also uses button batteries and not standard sizes. I think it's too unreliable and prone to failure and would never use for boating. It's made of plastic and lightweight. This device may be better for the casual weather observer to check wind in the backyard, not reliable enough for applied usage. The batteries are time consuming to replace as the fit, opening and compartment are poorly moulded.

I can't say exactly, but If I was pushed I would say its Okay. I live near the sea, keep mine in a pouch and take it out for short periods at a time and return to pouch. I won't leave it exposed to sea sprays all the time. Care, I think, is the key. Mine still works fine!

This is the same unit I purchased and it has an OFF mode. Hold the set button until it scrolls through wind speed and temperature to OFF. Bingo, you got it turned off.

It seems like a very durable product. I used it for something not intended and it did well. I put several coats on a piece of metal that is a anchor rope guide on my boat. It was constantly wearing off the factory finish, rusting and chafing the rope if I did not repaint it each time we went fishing. It held up very good but still needed to re-dip the part after about 5 trips but still better than doing it every time. Once cured it will not chip but as with most every thing else, will break down with abrasion.

I've used mine in saltwater since the day I bought it. That was almost a year ago. I just rinse it very well when I get home. This motor works perfectly on my little skiff!

I painted the lower unit of my outboard motor with it. It is in salt water very often and so far after 6 months of use it is holding up very well. Is it toxic to fish? Who knows.

I had mine more than 2 years now and I guess it should be fine. It works fine underwater. So without using it should not compromise it's function.

I am not aware of any official statement of its long term stability to exposure to water, but I'd be willing to use mine as you describe. Just to check, I soaked mine and it is fine.

I just finished my first bottle. I went through my boat 2.5 times with it. (22 ft bowrider with a load of white vinyl) As a conditioner, protectant and lite cleaner it works great. If things are really dirty get ready to use alot of elbow grease. I found that using a magic eraser for heavily soiled spots works best and then follow up with the 3M product my boats interior is holding up great. The protectant and conditioning properties of the product are great!!!!!

I've had mine outdoors for two years now. In and out of the water and it still looks good.

My plastic has held up very well! I've used it multiple times with no problems at all!

I have snorleled with the pole 5 times and no rust or corrosion. So I believe it is OK for the water and I plan to continue using it both in and out of the water.

I have only used it in a lake. It is extremely durable. We had it tied up to a buoy for a week.

We have salt water and no problems yet. It's been in the water about half a year.

If this is going to be by an ocean area, I'd say no to the rust proof. We've had ours for about a year now and it's not rusty, but again we are not near the coast.

Seems to be pretty stout to me. I haven't been in surf like that in ages, but I believe it likely would survive.

Yes. How good it holds up depends on the environment. The hotter it gets, the more it deteriorates.

It has held up well. I've had mine about 6 months now. Although the liner is not water proof so if there are many accidents the foam is pretty much ruined.

We took it out in the waves in Hilton Head, also had it in our lake this summer. It's pretty resilient. So far, 2 summer trips and going strong.
