Hello Ken, I think there is more than one way to blow an expensive trip. Do flooded 1 ATA KISS displays qualify as an electronics failure? Any unit with a wiring harness and sensors can and will give you problems to solve. The question is: How easy is it to solve the problem? -Andy

I'd say flooding a KISS display is doing it pretty good. Have had flooded YBOD displays in the past. Nothing like coming up from a deep dive and seeing water swishing about.

Also, getting the flu before the trip qualifies. Just to cover myself I ordered extra Kiss electronics. So far, I have not had to use them. Crossing my fingers for now.

On any trip with OC gorillas in tow I make sure to shield all my electronics with hard covers, plastic etc. I've seen too many instances where someone lunches someone else's stuff. As careful as the others may be on a boat, I would Murphy's is always in tow...especially on some the NE boats out here.
