My controller is under the gas tank but is mounted just in front of the dc to dc converter and 6th battery which is centered under my tank. My motor is located under the back of the tank/front of the seat. Airflow for the motor is an issue I am addressing with 4 mini fans, very small. Water is not an issue as the tank and seat provide enough coverage.
Batteries are sealed from outside elements, do not submerse them or short them out but otherwise should be okay. If you use AGMs those are truly sealed. Other batteries have caps that keep out water/contaminants.
