Jordan, although this case is not waterproof I was also thinking about using it in my Kayak. Most decent GPS/Fish finders carry atleast an IPx7 rating basically what this means is that it will withstand incidental exposure to water of up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes. So IMHO I think you would be fine using this, if the boat flips make sure it comes out of the water ASAP and dry it off. Shouldn't be a problem.

yes, its waterproof for maybe for up to 2 ft under water. I took it on a cruise, used it on snorkeling excursion in Aruba.no problems, all was good.

Don't believe it is water proof. If used in a watertight enclosure with a Plastic "While in Use" cover you may be able to use it outdoors.

Yes, its waterproof. I have had it outside for months, no leaks or water problems.

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.

It's not really weather PROOF, per se, but it is fairly well weather resistant. I have had mine out in a moderate rain storm with no problems. I think kayaking, carefully, with it would not be a problem. I do not think that water would get inside just from splashes, but submerging it would still cause problems I think. Also, I would be more worried about the salt in the water. After getting it home I'd clean it very thoroughly if it is exposed to salt water. In the end, if it were me, I would still get some kind of bag or housing for mine if I were to want to take it salt water kayaking, in case of submersion and the salt water.

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, I've had it on my truck for 4 months now and have taken it through a car wash every week sometimes more

It looks like it is waterproof but you should contact customer service. They are VERY accommodating.

I don't believe it is waterproof. It can probably handle getting splashed with water but not immersed.

Yes....its been a great solution for my kayaks. Not super cheap but bulletproof.

Hello, this charger has some kind of nano coating that makes it MOSTLY water proof except for of course the plugins. Charging your phone on a kayak...sounds fun :)

I use it on a boat too. Don't think I would consider it "water proof", but it gets splashed on once in a while.

Not waterproof in any way. I use it to hold the parts I don't use and bought a zippered bag to hold the boat, but that isn't water tight either.

It is sealed so salt water should not be an issue. I also use in sot kayak. I bought a plastic container slightly larger than the battery. I put industrial grade Velcro on the bottom of the box and kayak bottom so the battery is contained and the wire connections to the battery are protected. The box is for holding the battery not for waterproofing. It is easy to remove for charging but stays secure and protected.

Yes it is waterproof. I mounted it on my ATV and used it outside in rain and snow to operate a winch.
