Believe me... it's real! Just don't ask me technical question about how they do it. I'll try my best to give an overview of the process in my next blog post.

Of note, all future posts about Golden Shellback can be accessed directly via the following link. Be sure to bookmark it!

How the hell does this blog keep falling into these sweetheart deals. This F$# product is going to make millions just in their marketing cut. I hate lucky bastards. I almost started a maritime blog 6 months before these dopes but I'm not lucky like them. I know I'm venting to the enemy but gCaptain really pisses me off. FU John

I want to know how they coat power terminals while still allowing electricity to pass through. I guess the coat has a special property or is just thin enough to let the current through?

The power connection is the toughest part of any splash proof solution. We have various approaches currently (pun intended) and a lot of ideas for the future.
