does it have a drain barb? my boat's center console has switches & battery in it so I do NOT want water dripping in there!

No it does not. It is one solid piece no holes in bottom. I used them in my Mopar and looks great

It has one but the water evaperates and goes out the vent. It may collect a tiny bit of water in the lower tray. but I have had no problems with it. When storing for winter just tip it backwards and any water in it will drain out the rear plug. I just put a towel behind it when I tip it back. There is not really much water in it. Just what drips off the condensor when you shut it off.

Hi, This drain has a stopper. We can add the lift-n-turn stopper for an extra $20.00. Thanks, Kathy

No. The on off switch is on the part that is lowered into the water. best way to stop flow is just to lift it out of the water- it doe not appear to be damaged if it runs w/out water in it for a little bit. My guess is that was no on/off switch at the top to increase reliability and reduce the cost of the device.

My tank is much smaller so I have never done that, but I've read reviews of people that have submerged it with no issues at all. The battery compartment is sealed, as well as the on/off button. Sorry I couldn't help further.

If you are referring to the main engine starting battery then yes. If will not maintain the other system batteries, they simply are not large enough to do that. You will need to keep a check on the water levels unless it is a sealed battery.

Yes but I suggest getting a rear fender, and I try and cover the battery/controler with plastic when it's raining hard. Usually it's fine but early on I did have an issue with water getting in the control area under the battery in a driving rain.

No, it doesn't, but it's easy to dump. Older models have a drain hole with a hose.

this does not have a drain plug or a gasket on the lid. In my opinion after purchasing, I wish I would have asked the questions you are asking. It would be advised to spend the extra money and get what you pay for.

No, it just plugs in. If it suitable for marine use it should be watertight enough for automotive use.

I agree that SPST water proof type switch is the way to go if installed outside. I used a fuse right off the battery positive to switch. You can also piggy back a fuse off your ignition to make sure lights turn off when key is positioned off. Hope this helps, good luck. They are awesome LED lights too.

Yes it does, however my unit installs flush with the bottom of boat and transom.

forgot to mention I don't recall totally draining it. I have ran it down to 1 or 2 bars though.

It has a drain when the drain hose is unhooked & lowered. If its on a hard or firm surface & not over filled it should'nt spill.

It does not have a drain plug...super lightweight boat that can be easily placed on its side to dump. We live on a small lake and love the boat!

It does not have a drain, but it doe have a pop valve on top. You could very easily take that out and rig up a hose or pipe hooked us an extinction into the tank and siphon water out.

Referring to my 2005 model, not very... There is no gasket or other mechanism from stopping water from seeping into the battery chamber. It will do fine in the rain for a while, but it is definitely not submersible. I do not know if newer models are different.
