Is this switch waterproof??

No, and I would not use this switch for something that will be turned on and off often. After about 5 months of moderate use front peiece broke off.

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.

They are not. But I doubt you have to worry about water getting inside the circle cutout and onto the wires behind it. Just wrap the outside of the switch with electrical tape to make it tight.

No but you can easily put a small toggle switch on unit, if you are using in wet conditions make sure switch is weatherproof. Hope this helps..great little unit..

No it is not waterproof. I did ruin my first receiver by reversing the polarity ... So be careful with the + -

I have not tried mine outside. I think the battery compartment might stay dry but I don't know if the switch would hold up. They don't seem waterproof to me.

I agree with the other answers. The switch has worked flawlessly since installation (5 months ago).

I don't think so. Neither the compressor or the guage/ switch are in a water proof enclosure.

Yes although this cover is generally used for receptacles. It allows a cord to be plugged in and kept weatherproof. There are weatherproof covers made specifically for switches which is what I would use.

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 have never used it wet or allowed the main unit to get wet. I doubt that it is water proof. My recommendation is to not get it wet, but other may have had no problem. Better safe than sorry.

Since the switch operating force is pressure water/air, voltage xx in = voltage xx out. So, the answer to your question is yes

I cannot verify whether it is truly waterproof, but it would certainly survive a quick dunk or light moisture. There is a rubber o-ring around the head of the flashlight that I assume is intended to prevent moisture from leaking into the electronics. It also comes with several replacement o-rings.

I am not sure, the light only opens on one end and there is an "O" ring there, but I can't say for sure that it is waterproof. thanks.

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.

Absolutely not, it is a cheap switch and won't stand up to any weather. Buy one that says Marine Grade.

Yes, toggle switch with water resistance rubber cap. Works fine, feels solid and durable enough.
