Re: [Paddlewise] E-Trex / GPS / Water use

I have been using a Lowrance GlobalNav 300 for about 3 years without any
problems. Although Lowrance says that the unit is submersible, they point out
that the battery compartment is not completely sealed.





The solution for me was to use a drybag. The unit now floats, and I use the
cord on the drybag as a mini-tether to tie the unit to my boat.





IMHO, anything that needs to be dry on a kayak, should be in a drybag. I
operate my VHF while it's in one as well as my GPS.
