VTS electronic replacement with relays

[Axkiker]

Finally had a chance to build a replacement for the VTS electronics using relays and 2 auto reset circuit breakers. My issue is I dont know what to house the parts in that would make them waterproof.

Anyone have any ideas. My first thoughts are to get some sort of box then incase them in some sort of potting material.

Suggestions.

Use a project box from radio shack. Thats what i used. Drill holes on the side for the wires to come out and then use sealent to seal them...

Liquid electric tape should do the trick. Availible at Home Depot. Also if you stuff everything in a box and fill with sealant it will make it difficult for future maintenance example one relay goes bad.

look at mine I buy this box in radio shack $4.25
relays in autozone $5 each.

I leave it in the front near the electric box.

I originally purchased 2 type 1 breakers from autozone but they were 15 amp and it was just too high. I then purchased 2 type 2 breakers 5A from Chief Enterprises.

Ill head to the shack and pick up some project boxes.

thanks

where you connect the reset circuit breakers
one to up and other to down cables?

We used a small Pelican case in our combat boats for a circuit we built while deployed. Worked great,,, though not the cheapest option...
