I am actually getting this one next week

Do yourself a favor. Find out what West Marine carries that is waterproof and possibly floats. Price shop the unit on the internet, and take the price printout to WM. Then purchase the radio with the 3yr extended warranty. You will not regret it. Saltwater kayak fishing is brutal on nearly all electronics. As with anything else on your yak, if it does not float you better leash it.
