[QUOTE="Hanr3, post: 82836, member: 1055"] Thanks! Naw, I am not really worried about it. The fish finder is waterproof, and the lid over the elecrical will keep it dry enough. I may have to extend the lid over the front of the door so it doesn't drip onto the switches, however they are marine switches and not too many boats have them protected from the elements from the factory. If it does become a problem, I'll find a solution. Even if I do get a huge splash of water from teh livewell ,most of it will hit the lid and flow away. If any does manage to get between the livewell and hte lid it then has to seep over the board holding the connectors. Plus that board is stained, and two coats of polyurathane, and butts up tight to the lid. Even if the backside of that board gets wet, it wont droip onto the switch panel. Only way for the electrical connectors to short out from water is if that area is full of water, and if that happens I'll be looking for my lifejacket and whistle. That means the boat is full of water. Thanks for the question and the concern. I'll let you all know how it goes after the first rain storm. :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
