I just got it ($64 shipped from iboats.com). But I need advice!
The 1-sheet documentation included says not to store it in a plastic bag (to allow gas evaporation), and to store it above deck for safety. I had thought a bit about the danger of the gas fumes, but wasn't sure what the solution would be.
I need to store the device on my boat. The boat is kept at a marina, so it's never gassed up at an on-road gas station. I don't want to store it in my car trunk for a few reasons, including that I sometimes get gas at other locations on the water, rather than at the marina.
I'm thinking now of storing it in a tupperware-type container under one of the bow seats. I don't know what alternative there would be - it's of course not going to be just sitting out in the open. Should I be concerned about sparks from speaker connections igniting the fumes?
If there's no good storage place on the boat, I'll probably try to return it. Argh.
