Jressman's Waterproofed Sovereign Build Thread.

Here's my updates.
Box is being delivered Wednesday. I ordered the Underwater Kinetic 308 water tight box with clear top and padded liner. I measured the circuit board so I know it fits.
Currently researching which waterproof potiometers to order. There are a few to choose from. Any recommendations?
Also need to order Pinpoint switch.
Excalibur 10inch coil cover came in too.
West marine sells a waterproof toggle switch. But too pricey not using the internet. I bought a dryer coil delivered to my door for $19

I got the IP68 switch and added a silicone on water tight boot to double the chances. I soaked the entire inner housing, circuit board, and wiring... In a hydrophobic like "never wet" I put a half gallon of it inside my pressure pot and pulled a vacuum so that it would penetrate well. So basically my wiring and board are waterproof even if water leaked in. I wonder if my otterbox is as strong as the box you purchased. I really did my research and found that the otterbox would be the best.
