Lowrance Elite-5 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have had nothing but bad luck with these units down here in CR. Whether I goop the card slot and cover the time/speed output, it doesn't matter on my AI/TI kayaks. They go to hell in no time. Other than find a cover to protect them from the salt spray, I am at a loss on how to get a dependable durable sonar/gps unit to keep for over a year??? FYI, I have already replaced the 2 units under warranty, last year. Now one unit doesn't work at all and the others GPS doesn't pick up signal. Arggghhh

Any suggestions on how to keep a working unit going for over a year?
