You will need to waterproof it some, some people silicone it, some use different types of coatings to help resist water. Search around and you will find lots of good info.

I'm in the same boat as you right now, just need to find the best way!

I will recommend this, please do not text/type here on the forum. Looks bad.

I just finished up my corrosion x dip on all my electronics even my pro 4. At first when I fired everything up the sensor was not working, but within a minute or so it was good to go. I have high expectations for this product. The best thing was the distributor for Michigan met me 15 minutes from my house to get it to me I will let ya all know how it works for me.

Interested on your findings buddy!

Dunked one a few times with no ill effects so far.

Shoved a piece of nitro fuel tubing between the terminals and end bell with a couple coats of plastidip around the area sealing it up. And a drop directly 180deg from the terminals on the little hole. Squirt a lil bit of high vac silicone grease into the sensor port and plastidipped it sealed. Did nothing to the sensor board/assembly. Works for me
