How to cover up a switch pannel to cover from the rain?

Post by smile0784 » Fri Jul 28, 2017 8:17 pm

I just realised that the switch pannel i installed water proof. Lol
At home its covered my the boat cover but while traveling with the canapy down it will probably get rained on.

Any ideas on how to cover it ao doesnt get water in it?

I was thinking of covering it with some sort of plastic and put duct tape or electrical tape around outside to seal it.?
Like plastic bag or glad wrap cut to size?

Any other ideas?

Put gladwrap on the panel. And go around the edges with duct tape to seal around.
Obviously temporary fix for traveling only
