I have been using my Excalibur for about ten years, never had a problem. Last time I went wet, it would not work. I had to send it back for repairs, it had a leak and the unit was toast.
I have always left my unit together on the metal rail, it was a problem in the aircraft and with all my other stuff. I think it must have got a hard bump and a seal failed. Anyway, back to shop, they were very helpful and sold me a new unit and I am ready again. Now I keep my unit in a padded insulated bag apart from the rail. The main unit is better protected and easier to carry, I just take the rail separate.
I don't know how most of you carry your units, but most do not like to be thrown around.
Learned the hard and expensive way, I still like my Excalibur...
