I've had a Garmin VHF transceiver for years and taken no special care except to keep it in an Aquapack. It only comes out to recharge batteries. It gets very hot on the deck in the Australian sun and extremely wet in surf and rolling exercises. Still works fine though. Is there a fundamental difference between a GPS and a transceiver, which makes the GPS more vulnerable to water?
