As one of the respondents on Andrew's site said, "That blows!"  Later on in 
the responses, I think Andrew indicated SPOT offered him a new one for 
$600, inasmuch as his subscription is valid for a while yet.

In contrast, other manufacturers of marine electronics honor that water 
intrusion rating.  Garmin will replace the first GPS you get wet 
internally.  Not sure about the second one.
