Sometimes you have to watch those manufacturer's claims, I have a Magellan 315
that most assuredly floats. However it most assuredly does NOT float if the data/power
cable is attached! I also have a Magellan SporTrak Map, I haven't tried dropping
it in the water yet so I can't tell you if it lives up to the advertising claims.

Alright...I have an Icom M1v, but it will sink like a rock.

Bob, if you are worried get one of the radio harnesses the wind
surfers use to hold the radio strapped to their chests. If you
float you'll have a radio, if you sink you won't need one.

Well it certainly won't work unless you run the lines.

But he could run the lines in a jiffy, if he needed them.

Tell us something, Martin....is it possible to reef without the jiffy reefing
setup?

The Garmin floats. Tried it.

Yes, but did you try it with the data/power cable attatched?

What's that got to do with you not knowing how to make it work?

Sound advice indeed, unless you don't have a clue what
you are doing. ;-o
