Cover for radio needed

[solarwarrior]

Hi,
we are repeatedly having problems with our VHF radios (and other equipment), they seem not to be as waterproof as they should. I remember that I once saw the website of a (british?) company that produces transparent, fully waterproof covers for marine radios which allow full button operation. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of the company any more.

Any suggestions for radio and general electronics protection from saltwater on RIBs?

I tried to search on the forum, but did not find what I was looking for.

You mean Neptune I think - not cheap however.

What make are your radios? - if they are marine VHF units they should be "fit for purpose" and work despite some spray / dampness. Might be worthatalk with the supplier

Is it just condensation in the display or is water ingress through buttons and wet internally?

Not exactly what you are looking for but very handy stuff if you don't mind silicone as an ingredient.

Thanks. That's what I was looking for.

We are using Icom marine radios, and they never survive more than a few years. I just had a quick chat with the guy who repairs/replaces them last week, and wanted to show him there covers.

Just wondering if anyone has considered making a perspex cover for when the boat is not in use?

I've been thinking of using the same "craft" as for diy windshield, but making a removable plate that would shelter all the electronics trom the elements when the boat is moored.

Top (horizontal ) surface off the top of the consoleand then longer (vertical-ish) surface running down over all the expensive stuff.
