[QUOTE="BuckWild, post: 5887920, member: 217"] Think that remote is waterproof? Well it's not. I keep mine stored in a console on my boat with batteries removed. Monday I went fishing for the first time this year. Took it out, installed fresh Duracells and nothing. Used the foot control, which I hate. Had a few minutes today and opened it up to see if I could work a miracle. Lots of corrosion. This thing has never been wet. I always wear it around my neck when using it. Stored in a console on my boat, under a boat cover and under a metal shed. Just a little FYI... [ATTACH type="full"]224270[/ATTACH] The green is corrosion on the pins of the surface mount IC. The row of surface mount capacitors are almost completely deteriorated. Two of the battery connectors are badly corroded. Cleaned it with isopropyl alcohol and an acid brush, reinstalled batteries and deader than a hammer. There goes another $200... [/QUOTE]
