I think I might get the hummingbird 597 been hearing a lot of good things about it. Thx

I've got an older model Hummingbird gps/ff which has been solid for me. I unexpectedly flipped the yak in some rough water about a year ago and thought it would be toast. I put the hair dryer on it, sprayed all the connections and it's still running as usual to this day. It might be good to know what each says about their units being waterproof/resistant...?
