Thats a new one on me. Is it still under warrenty? MSD has been real good to me in the past. You should call them up, if its under warrenty still they should send you a new one for free...otherwise they'll repair it for pretty cheap.

I fried a regular MSD box by submerging it but the Offroad box should be able to operate under water. The entire thing is filled with epoxy so there's no way for moisture to get to the board unless there's a hole or bubble in the epoxy. This being the case it's their fault. I'll second Pro's comment. MSD has always been VERY good to me. Contact their customer service department and tell them what happened. IF things don't work out with them shoot me an e-mail and I'll let you in on a sneaky little trick that worked for me last time I blasted my 6AL.
