Is the solenoid waterproof?

seems soMy atv is stored outside and I haven't had any problems. (I live in a rainforest)

Have not put it under water yet but have been out in the snow and rain and its still running strong.

More like water resistant. It's housed in a plastic box. The bottom has a cover with 4 screws in it and the cover has a rubber seal. I definitely don't recommend it if you snorkel your atv or to submerge this box in any way. I mounted mine under the seat to keep it dry from rain and splashing water and mud. I actually bought this control to replace the remote unit on my Badlands winch. That box (similar to this one) filled up with water and ruined the contactor. The remote wasn't water proof either and died. Not sure why you would make an ATV winch control and not make it waterproof (epoxy seal it, etc). Hope this helps. More like water resistant.

It works with 2AA batteries which last me for 2 - 3 months. I do not know about a solenoid.

Unfortunately no, this particular system is not waterproof. There is a fan and heat sink on top of the speed control that would allow water direct access to the interior circuitry (plus there's no shroud around the motor wire poles). Depending on the design of your vehicle, it may require submersion to breach the top of the unit. I have mine installed on the top rail of an Arrma Fury and have had no problems at all, even running it in the recent snowstorms we've had lately. Check the seller's listing for a part number and cross reference that with Castle Creations, and also check the item reviews. As with most things the individual application may vary.

Yes, it is definitely waterproof. I have had this exact model mounted on my 16' trailer for at least 3 years to keep the trailer winch battery charged, and it still works perfectly. I highly recommend this product.

This solenoid in my case was used on a lawn tractor with a 12 volt battery. I hope this is helpful

Yes, Unit is water proof! I have one on my trolling unit up from and another mounted on my console, in all types of weather - haven't had any problems!

Yes, it is definitely waterproof. However, whether it is durable enough for a tool box in a truck is questionable. I use it to transport camping gear which means I only use it a few times a year. Using it as a tool box means you probably will be using it daily and I doubt if the plastic hinge will hold up.

Hi Ray! To answer that question as best I can... After much research I come to the conclusion that as long as you're not in the deep ocean, sure it is. HOWEVER, you wouldn't want any electric device to stay in watery conditions too long as the gap in-between the controller box and wire could lead to severe damage if soaked for long periods of time, as well as you're battery of any sort. Other than that a minutes in the rain wouldn't hurt.

As I recall, the posted 'Features' and included 'User Guide' state this unit is "Water resistant" as opposed to water-proof. In other words, it's not recommended to just mount this unit as-is outside and unprotected. I purchased several for autos that are not driven frequently and mounted the panel inside the vehicle flat on the dash next to the windshield - ran the wires through the door rubber seal (being careful to not crimp the wire) to the battery. Keeps the battery fully charged. If it's necessary to have the panel outside, then purchase some plexiglass and clear RTV silicone and build a weather-tight case to protect the unit from water and condensation. ~ S As I recall, the posted 'Features' and included 'User Guide' state this unit is "Water resistant" as opposed to water-proof.

Yes, it came with solenoid installed. This starter fit my truck but it's half the size and weight of the one I took off. God bless modern magnet technology.

I'm not sure I'd trust this to be waterproof. The screw holes would likely let water into the bottom of the stobe which is where the high voltage circuitry is.

I don't know, I have not test but is a small solenoid on function only on one side; ex.: for the main tank always on with no current and on ( 12V) when is for the auxilliary side. So if you run on the main you don't use current.Regards

I would say no! I haven't installed mine yet. I have checked it for proper operation. I'll be using it inside of my vehicle. Item doesn't feel waterproof at all. Not cheap either.

No, the solenoid is separate and mounted beneath the battery on the firewall. Do not buy a starter with the solenoid attached.

It is as waterproof as any covered grill is. If it is the electrical connections that you are asking about they are quite well covered and enclosed and the cord is sealed plastic like any cord these days. I don't worry about it, it does fine in any rain I am willing to stand out in. But,to use it in a downpour would be pretty silly.

If by that you mean "is it water proof", almost nothing electrical that isn't sealed is safe for outdoor use. On the other hand it is ruggedly built with an on-off switch to turn on-off electrical power. But I wouldn't leave it outside in the rain.

Yes, it does have the solenoids, and it does come with the remote. Warn will tell you it doesn't but it does. I hooked mine up easily and it was quickly working.
