Well yes because it loses signal through water. Same as being a distance.
But it can get splashed-soaking wet or submerged very close to the head unit and not activate. That's all I meant.

It is great peace of mind when I'm out alone.
I had a little trouble with the first one as it would ocassionally kill the engine while I was in the boat. Sent it back, got a new one in a week. Good-to-go !!! Good company to deal with.

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.
