Soverign Elite Meter

[Anonymous]

Hey guys......can someone tell me if the meter on the Elite is waterproof. I know the coil is and I have a bag for the control box. How about the meter? Logically I am thinking no but I wanted to check because I am gonna be doing some rain hunting this weekend.

Joseph, I am new to this sport and I own an Elite. On the second day I owned it, I went hunting in the pouring rain. I took a large, clear, plastic bag and cut the bottom off, snaked my handle through the bag and used tight rubber bands on the open ends against the shaft. It was a major "COBJOB", but it got me through the day! Just A thought!
Good Luck With Your Hunt!

the meter isnt waterproof...I went out yesterday in the rain and hunted..I slipped one of theose neoprene knee braces over the control box..and another one I sliced a bit and put over the meter and probe..stayed nice and dry...also I have heard tale of a ziplock bag being adequate...just try to keep it dry and if its really pouring then make sure its covered good....I think the knee brace thing worked good,,,its like that wetsuit material it kept it super dry and clean...hopefully the rain lets up a bit...

Not waterproof as the others have said. I used rope caulking around the plastic face of mine. That seems to be the only place for water to enter.
