waterproof dual-gang potentiometer?

[Madsalts]

I've been looking for a waterproof (or at least splash-proof) dual-gang potentiometer and have not had any luck. Ideally, it would be 100K, but this isn't an absolute requirement. Does such a component exist? Thanks.

you can use non-waterproof potentiometer, water protection will be provided by your housing or case enclosure.

I'll look into the joysticks. As for the housing providing the protection, there's an inner shaft that rotates w/in the outer shaft. are you saying that water won't get in gap? Is it packed with grease or something?

look for some compatible gasket, or rubberized outer cover for the joystick, may i know what application you are going to use this project?

For the joystick, it seems easy enough. I'm wondering about the traditional potentiometer junction. This is for a pulse width modulator which is to be hooked up to a trolling motor on a canoe.

I wonder if a dual-gang potentiometer is necessary. I have this controller:

As you can see, two parameters are controlled with one potentiometer.
However, in the following controller, there are two potentiometers:

Does anyone know what parameters are being controlled? Also, with the one that I have, what would be the effect of installing two potentiometers rather than the one dual-gang? I could control the parameters separately, but I wonder if this is desired. Any thoughts?

i guess you will find it hard to look for a water proof potentiometer, so i think more practical to protect your equipment using right enclosure and strategic location of mounting of your pulse width modulator device, try to search for pelican brand of enclosure those are durable and some are waterproof and shatter proof.
