Not trying to offend anyone but has anyone that have done the remote pinpoint mod taken it under water yet?
Has anyone heard of any problems with leaks, or shorting out by switch itself leaking?
Any other sort of problems?
I so want to do this modification but wonder about what would happen if the switched leaked or God forbid the housing leaked!
Have seen videos of people using this mod and it looks like a great idea but never seen one in or under the water yet.
The videos I've seen look like they've all got it down pat but just thought I'd ask.

How far under water are you talking? I have had mine chest deep with no issues. If remote switch stops working the pp/description switch on control housing still works.

As far as controls leaking, the end cover where wire goes in controls is drilled out and then is filled in with resin mine is more waterproof than when it came from the factory.

We will NOT go quitely into the night!

If switch goes bad it can be replaced with out going into the controls too.
