Question for Garmin FF140 owners.. Is it ok to mount the screen where it might be hit with spray? I know the display unit is supposedly waterproof but is the transducer connection port on the back of the display also waterproof when connected? I.e. will I have any trouble with water getting into this connection? Would rasther find out now before I hit the water and have it fry itself from water exposure to the connection terminals!

my garmin says that is waterproof for 30mins at 1metre, if in doubt spray some lanox etc around connecter. im using all my electronics at the moment with no screen and have been out twice coping a bit of spray with no problems yet. hav garmin 400series c/p rm ds500x cobra mr80 all facing backwards into the elements so will be a test for them.
