Can I install this on a boat or do I need a waterproof one?

I would get an amp designed for wet conditions. This one is not waterproof.

I wouldn't use it on a boat. It gets condensation in it when you're sitting out in the rain: I'm most certain it would get ruined being in such a water rich environment.

Drill a hole a little larger than the wire. make sure you use a good sealant on the wire. If your boat has two batterys hook it up to the deep cycle

It's not waterproof and you'll need a 110v power outlet or a cigarette lighter adapter with same voltage/wattage output as the AC adapter.

The head unit is not waterproof. Speakers can get water on them and still be fine from what I've done getting in and out of the boat, but none of this stuff is waterproof.

The answer is between probably not and definitely not. The cabling and the battery are all inside the 'Weatherproof' case. The unit itself may be waterproof but the connections (wires to transducer and battery) would not be happy submerged in saltwater. If the whole thing took a dunk you would want to wash it all off with freshwater and check everything. Too much time if it happens every trip. I would opt for something more self contained.

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.

No, the bag is not waterproof. That being said it's a decent small bag and would work well for hauling tools down to the boat just don't set it in the water an I think you will be happy. If you really need something waterproof is suggest a more traditional tool box.

Yes. I live in Hawaii and use the device on a small boat. The unit is water resistant, regularly gets wet from ocean spray and I rinse it down with fresh water after each outing.

I have mine in a siren enclosure but I don't believe it needs to be in one it looks waterproof I don't believe there will be an issue having it outside exposed

If the connection is tight it is suppose to be water proof. Our son has this same one and he does use it in the water.

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 wouldn't try it underwater, but otherwise it's all weather :) I would agree to wrap the connection once you have it installed.

I believe that would be fine. The instructions show it attached to a boat. There are mounting holes.

I would not put these or any conventional sub or soeaker on a boat. I would look into SpeakerCraft they make outstanding powerful speakers. Yes they will coast more but they make water proof and will last you years. Mount anything not rated for outdoor and you might get a year out of it.

You will not have any problem transmitting through your Kayak. However, I don't think the unit is waterproof!

is not waterproof but can be used for marine use. I would recommend rescue tape to cover connection
