Ever lose control of your boat due to a wet receiver? Try this and it should help. Get a 12" round balloon and cut the neck off. With the neck cut off you can stretch it open and put your receiver inside with the wires coming out the hole. This will keep the water from splashing in. If you want to go one step further you can wrap the neck of the balloon with a tie wrap and make it almost waterproof. One word of caution however take the receiver out of the balloon to let it dry out before laying the boat up for the week, Over time the water will condense in the balloon and you will have a wet receiver next time.
