    I did fish a tournament where we got bout 4 inches of rain throughout the day.. worked fine the following week, are they really not that sealed? i did just have to replace the control board in my ultrex foot pedal due to that same wet tournament.

    Yep. Call them ASAP. Get ur ups returning label they will give u. Turnaround time 5 days. Sent mine on a Monday they had it Wednesday morning. And due to Monday holiday had it back Tuesday. Yes the control sensors where not sealed and had a bunch go bad. But the new ones are a sealed board. Good luck. Maybe we both fished in same storm.
