top_gun_de, Now I am PO'd, I just purchased a set of 6 ft Hybrid Probes from Amazon, the old style? I couldn't find 6 ft W/P any where?

I see the Maverick probe now uses the same type of molded protection that the Thermoworks have been using to prevent water damage. Just be aware that if you already have probe ports installed in your cooker, these may be to big to fit. I had to modify my Yoder YS-640's probe ports so the larger Thermoworks ones would fit. No big deal.

I switched to the iGrill because I thought the unit got wet during an all night brisket cook and it rained. So is it just the wires or the unit?

I ordered one to replace my bbq probe, will report once I get it. Thanks for the warning. The Genesis has holes for a rotisserie which accept the cable just fine, and when the lid is open I have all the space I need to lay the cable
The plug that stick into the unit seems pretty well protected against rain, never had issues with that. I just ruined one probe today when I put it on the wet sidetable during clean-up :-/ I will try Huskee's oven-trick, though...

I have them, but I still avoid submerging them in water. I treat them more like splash proof. They don't have a curve in the probe and they are about a quarter inch in diameter where the wires connect to the probe.
