I usually think the extended warranties are a joke but I must say that all of my electronic equipment now gets them! I have replaced numerous things including my VHF 2 times, and my Garmin GPS twice as well. Each time it was a no hassle experience with in store trades! Can't beat that!
On the prevention side, you can get a 4-6oz can of silicone grease (dilectric grease) for like $20, I use it for lots of things to protect from the harsh kayak enviorment.
