I don't think this was designed for outside/boat conditions... they ask you to plug it into your cigarette lighter and place it on your dash... water would ruin it, hope this helps, Roosevelt C.

Yes, you can use it outside, depending on what you're using it for. It can only get wet if you put a clear, epoxy seal around the edge of the solar screen, but that may not protect any other areas that water may seep into. It was not made to get wet, or for wet weather. As far as working for boat batteries, look the company up on the internet and ask them that question. I LOVE mine and will buy another if this one gets old.

Not I did use it outside and put marine silicone in the edges, eventough I have discontinued the use of 3 of this chargers, more problems than benefits, different readings of charging between 2 adjacent ones, etc.

I use mine to keep my truck charged, by leaving it on dash. It does the job.

no and mind fell off the front of boat` . make sure u mount it good. motor may slide down in rough water and hit the waves ripping it off

It works fine on my boat even on the rough water ,the suction cup is strong just make sure the surface is clean before installing it

Yes... It can be mounted on the exterior of the boat. It is waterproof and can be splashed or sprayed with a hose when cleaning the boat. It needs to be mounted high enough so it won't get submerged for a long period of time as this may allow water to get in behind the device causing other problems for the boat. Many boat manufacturers that use Clarion gear install this controller near the swim platform of their boats...

i would not use it for that at all , just to play with it in the sea may be ok but will not take a lot of waves I seen that after being out on my boat with it

Oh yeah. You can use it all over the boat, I highly recomend it on the bottom. I hit a large stump just three inches under water, put a crease right down the center bottom, the Gluvit flexed with it NO LEAKS!.

You definitely could! It's very sturdy. Though I didn't see any hooks or anything that you could attach to a watercraft. The plastic ones on there may not hold up to something with that much force.

I think if you don't leave it standing in the water all the time it should be fine. Having said that I've left mine in the water for a few months straight and pulled it out when I don't plan on using it for a few consecutive weeks. The hull is made of this really dense material so if you leave it in the water for long periods water does get in the hull. The boat gets heavier and you have to take it out of the water, tilt the nose down, open the rubber drain plug to drain it. Also leaving it in the water for long periods will result in snails and deposits attaching to the sides ... So for best boat care, take it out after each use, rinse off the sides and put a cover on it. The cover is a must have so that you can get into a nice clean boat when you're ready for some fun and it keeps the elements from wearing down your boat interior. The cover is water proof but if it rains a lot, water will build up on top of the seat wells, Someone on here suggested putting 2 small beach balls in the seat wells and this works perfectly to keep the water out.

It is not water proof. Ours is under a gazebo roof that overhangs and no rain gets to it. But if the wind blows sideways, it will get wet. Hope this helps.

Not sure. Mine is installed in my boat where rain can't get to it. It works great but I can't answer your question about being installed where rain can get to it.

You can use this outside, but if it gets wet it is done. Also direct sun will melt it.

The motor is totally enclosed, so I can't see how it could get wet. I would take precautions with the battery pack. I keep mine away from water, but if you get caught in the rain you should be fine.

Yes you can. I have used it on the bottom of a aluminum v bottom and my fiberglass covered wood boat and it holds up just fine. I don't leave them in the water though. Been on both for two years now with no problem

Yes, so long as structural integrity is maintained (not dropped or a tree fell on it, etc.). Even the controller on the rear of the panel is sealed, and the connectors are all shielded from weather. Mine has gone through numerous wind and rain storms with no problems. Not sure you can immerse it in a lake, but should be OK otherwise.

Its not waterproof but it would stop common rain. For working on a boat in the water no but its perfect for mobile shop work when you are gonna be moving alot.

You could use it out side, however, it is NOT insulated so therefore in the cold or heat you would need to do something different. Also the top does not fasten, it just sets on top. I would NOT recommend it for outside use

I have it on a 2wd slash lcg and I've had it at around 70 yards and no the receiver is not waterproof to my knowledge.. But in the current receiver box it would be a good choice for a boat
