So you think you want to be a charter captain

It's hard to believe weather would be a factor on a boat

I went to Glendinning's web site and it states that the controls are rugged and weather proof. I was looking at the install instructions and it doesn't say you have to mount them inside. I think I will give them a call and see what gives.

The second set that I had repaired, they had to replace the touchpad. When I asked the tech what could have caused it to go bad, he stated being exposed to the Sun would deteriorate the membrane in the pad. That's when I made the vinyl covers for the outside controls!

My Glendinning controls have "gone out" a few times on me. It seems it is water related. Although I keep her under a shed, and had a console cover made to cover the back station when not in her slip, I got caught in a thunderstorm and lost them and had bad boat spray 1 day and lost them. Of course they worked fine the next day when the mechanic looked at them (and they were dry). It seems everyone I know with these controls has or had problems with them, not so good if you ask me.
