What's the big deal? So the eTrex has a waterproof case, and only a water resistant battery box. I've an eTrex, and my observation is the battery box is yet to leak with the unit on my foredeck with waves regularly washing over the decks and over the unit. If at some stage in the future it does let in a few drops, no big deal, I'll dry out the battery compartment. If you are really worried then get some silicon o-ring grease, and grease the battery box, tape around the battery box lid seal, or put it in a dry bag. Problem solved. Ha, you'll be wanting waterproof maps next ;-) BTW, I like my eTrex, and I would recommend one for sea kayaking.
