Never a problem with water, even when doing rolls and braces (not deliberately with the VHF on the PFD --- just forgot). Did give it a good smack once on a concrete abutment and cracked the display window, letting in water. Apelco replaced it, even with some obvious mishandling. My guess is that you'll be fine with the 520, using JIS-7 standards, considering what I've gotten away with on the 510.
