Yes, Dark Tide Marine displays are IP67 tested and certified to EN 60529 by an independent laboratory. That means it is dust tight, and it withstood full immersion with its lowest point one metre below the surface for thirty minutes. In practice it handles spray, rain, boarding water and a wash down. IP67 covers temporary immersion, so the display is not designed for permanent mounting below the waterline.

Our displays are tested by an independent accredited laboratory, not by Dark Tide Marine or the manufacturer’s internal quality control team.

The pass condition for the dust half of IP67 is that no dust is observable inside the enclosure at the end of the test. Not minimal, none. The housing was tested to that standard and passed. Salt, red dust and sand are all covered.

Our displays have been independently tested for electromagnetic emissions against AS/NZS CISPR 32:2015, Amendment 1:2020, and have passed the applicable requirements.

This confirms that electromagnetic emissions remain within the prescribed limits so it sits alongside the electronics already on your dash without adding interference.

All Dark Tide Marine displays come with a two-year manufacturer’s warranty from the date of purchase, covering manufacturing defects and faults under normal use.

Our manufacturer’s warranty is issued to the original purchaser and is not transferable.

Proof of the original purchase, the serial number, a description of what happened, and photos of the unit and the installation. We’ll review the information and advise you of the next steps. The warranty period runs from the date of purchase.

Water ingress caused by an incorrect installation or sealing, incorrect power supply or wiring, physical and impact damage, damage during transport and unauthorised modification. If a claim is declined, we’ll explain why.

We’ll repair or replace the display, depending on the fault and parts availability.

We’ll provide a return shipping label so you can send the display back to us. Once received, we aim to assess your claim within 7 business days, although most assessments are completed sooner. If approved, we aim to dispatch your repaired or replacement display within a further 3 business days, subject to parts availability.

Either. You can contact the dealer you purchased from or come directly to Dark Tide Marine, and we’ll take care of it.
