Weather Proofing Your Electronics

We’ve all experienced it and most probably complained about it too – our marine grade “waterproof” electronics at one time have fallen victim to the elements. Unfortunately, on an open boat none of them (GPS, VHF, Stereo), regardless of brand, on an open boat are immune to water damage.

Though intended for the marine environment, none of these are designed to be left out in the open exposed day and night to rain. To insure that your electronics last, it’s important that you take steps to weather proof them when you’re not on your boat. At a minimum if the manufacturer supplies a cover for the unit – USE IT. However, the most effective way to protect your electronics (other than not installing them in the first place) is to cover the console after using the boat with a canvas cover.

A console cover not only protects the instruments and electronics, but it’s a great security device to deter theft; “out of site – out of mind”

Hi Mr. Jones. Yes, we sell custom canvas console covers. Each one is made to order so as to insure proper fit. Please give us a call or send an email to schedule a time to bring your RIB by to have the console measured if interested.

As I mentioned, it's a very good idea to keep the console covered and protected from the elements.
