Makes my stupid spill last week look ordinary.

Shame about your gear...especially the sounder. I thought they were meant to be able to handle a dunking like that? Its not just the leads or connection blowing the fuse out or something?

I'll reserve making to many comments on the sounder until my warranty claim is finalised.
But the damage is to the head unit and has obvious signs of water inside..........
