Posted May 18, 20232 yr Hello guys, I bought the Pegase GPS tracker and it got water damaged under the seat, they sent me a new one but its obviously not waterproof…. its a really good GPS tracker, does everything i need it to and provides excellent anti theft features. I need help for ideas on how to waterproof it. thanks

May 18, 20232 yr Plasti-dip then heat shrink be my choice however that unit is rated to IP54 so once under seat should be no problems unless blasting it with power water or dropping it into a river

Its not protected at all
May 18, 20232 yr Sandwich baggie would be my go-to with a rubber band around the cable. I keep my tag and insurance paperwork under the seat in a zip lock bag, been working for decades now. 2006 R1, 2018 XR650L, 2022 T7, 2023 Desert X, 2024 WR450F, 2024 YZ250X, 2025 V2 final edition

I’d probably do this too but put a small silica bag in it too - like you get in new trainers- electrical tape around the wire exit hole how’s it powered?

Its not protected at all This doesn’t sound right “An IP54 rating means that your product will be protected against contamination from limited amounts of dust and other particles. Additionally, you can be confident that it will be protected from water sprays from all directions” Edited May 18, 20232 yr by Lewie

May 18, 20232 yr Use an empty juice box as a mould, hang the dongle in the juice box and fill with silicone caulking or something like that. Now it’s waterproof AND vibration proof! Edited May 18, 20232 yr by Samm
