Why use a so called "water proof" enclosure ?
Is it to avoid intrusion of salt water ?
My "pi" lays over the chart table at the nav. station, and if sea water get there, the future of this computer would be the least of my concerns !
I would rather recommend an excellent aluminum case such as the Argon40 one, which is perfect for its passive heat extraction, keeping the fan quiet below a CPU core temperature of 55°C. And so far, in an ambient temperature below 25°C , this threshold has not even be reached (Pi 4B with 4 GB ram).
PS nautical definition of water-proof : A device specially designed to prevent that water who made its way in, might get out ! (usually cured drilling a little hole at the lowest point)
