Waterproof Electronic Key

About 5 weeks ago, I inadvertantly jumped into the ocean with my GL 320 keyless go key in my pocket. I quickly returned to the boat, rinsed the key with fresh water, and let it dry in the sun. I had thought the key would be ruined, but alas the key works perfectly (at least as of today!)
Just an interesting story of a well constructed electronic key....

Personally, I would be happy if the key worked!

They keys have a gasket that prevents water from entering the key. However I have seen many ruined by washing machines. They are not waterproof though so don't go testing it's limits lol.
