I use a 35 mm film canister with a lid to seal the radio
box. I cut the canister in half. I sand the outside and then cut a hole in the
lid of my radio box just above the switch and charging jack location. I glue the
canister in place. I set it with hot glue then I cover that with a bead of shoe
goo all the way around the base. I have yet to have one fail.(The hole is a snug
fit around the canister and I leave enough of the canister sticking through the
lid; that I can seal the underside of it with a bead also.) I always mount my
switches so that I push fwd to turn it on and pull back for off.
Now once my servo linkage is set I have no need to remove the
lid because I can pull the top off the canister, charge the batteries or turn
on/off the radio. If the top is left off while not running the boat. The large
hole allows circulation of air in the radio box and prevents any
condensation problems. This has worked for me for many years. Now one roll of
radio box tape has lasted me 4+ years and counting. I don't mind sharing my
radio box tape or the little tip.
