Waterproof and it does float!
I left mine on the front deck when I went and hid from the lightening. When I came back it wouldn't work and had water behind the glass.

Here's a twist. On my right steer button on the remote, the rubberized coating has cracked and split to the point that water could get in. Just sent an email to MK to find out if I can get a replacement for it. Should be under warranty and the only other problem I had - the right steer actuator breaking, they sent me a replacement piece at no cost. We'll see how this goes.
Anyone else had an issue with the rubber splitting and cracking?

Open up - 6 screws and dry it out. Maybe you will get lucky. Then again, their customer service on warranty has been very good to me.

Yep....and bury it in a box of rice for 24 hrs. that is supposed to absorb and take all the moisture out.....so they say anyway, lol.Quote:

I called MK when my rubber buttons cracked, had a new cover in 3 days.
There is an awful lot of water in this "waterproof" remote.
Give MinnKota Customer service a shout and see what they have to say
2 year free replacement. Had one for 1 & 1/2 yrs and water got inside. No questions asked, free replacement in 3 days.:) Oh, mine is the PD V2.
You got the remote for a PD V2? How do ya like it, thinking about getting one for mine?Quote:

I'm calling Minn Kota in the morning. When the gps went out they sent me a new head in two days. Great service.
