Hello Chris,

I think you can. You just have to look at the specifications of your 
components to see the temperature range. Where I worked we made 
military devices that had the circuit boards covered with what was 
called humyseal (Don't know if I spelled it correct) this to prevent 
water corrosion. I you want to keep your components on a certain 
temperature you might be able to use a heating element as well.


I would be concerned if I would live close to a salt water lake as 
the salt in the air will deteriorate electronics really quick. I have 
seen maritime electronics that was heavily affected by this.


Kind regards,

sebastiaan
