Is this system water proof, can it be mounted outside the cab?

everything but the control switch can be mounted outside the cab. Great product, very helpful with towing our toy hauler and other stuff in the back of my truck. I've purchase 2 of these items, one for each truck.

Yes. I have 8 miles of gravel road & have had no trouble with it in the rain, snow & mud. Mine is mounted on frame under the cab.

I mounted the air compressor under the truck just behind the cab. I have not had any problems in the last year.

I mounted the compressor on the driver side firewall just behind the electric center box and fished the wiring through the firewall next to a rubber access plug for a well protected opening into the cab. The switch is then mounted on the underside of the dash frame work and is reachable from the drivers seat position. I don't believe the switch is waterproof.

This box is not water proof.if you mount it outside you would want to drill holes in the bottom to let the water out.

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!

The controller isn't waterproof but it's mounted inside of the vehicle so it should stay dry.

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.

I mounted mine in an outdoor waterproof enclosure. Works great. Stays dry. Don't mount it outside without protection.

I don't believe so. The connections for the wires are not protected from the elements. There's no evident attempt to 'waterproof' it. Great unit in covered area.

No. Not waterproof exposed back. Its just a plastic housing for the gauges to keep water out . I mount them nude the dash of trucks. . You'd have to make a custom enclosure to house it in out what ever your choice material. They have withstood hell for vibration in trucks

Yes, when properly installed it has proven to be completely water proof both when providing power to an accessory or when closed and not in use. This is an outstanding product as far as I'm concerned.

We mounted ours in the garage. I don't know if it can go outside. It works well for us!

I do not think that the unit is water proof! You could install it under an over hang? I think that Amazon has outdoor motion detectors The screws on this particular unit are very hard to open, very small screw, I stripped most of them.

What is not noted in the description is that the unit cannot be mounted to a surface mounted round or rectangular box. It can only be mounted to a recessed "new construction" box. The unit also does not come with weather proofing gasket, so I question whether it will hold up in the rain.

it already has the waterproof housing, just add receiver, the ESC is waterproof as well. Flysky makes a really nice receiver/radio combo that works awesome in this kit

Not at all. The servo and esc are not waterproof at all. You would also ruin your drivetrain from rust.

No. Control box and/or lights are NOT water proof. I've tried sealing them... but the materials used in their manufacturing and shipped are not par, for upgrades.

You can probably mount in the engine compartment but I would not mount it anywhere it could be wet a lot. It has to pull air from where it is and you wouldn't want to have it pullin moisture.

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...
