That 10" Furuno sells for about 3x the price of the average decent

Same deal with marine AM/FM/CD radios. The "marine" part seems to amount
to a white face plate and not much more.

Ever look at the price for one of those "marine" BBQ grills? Ouch!

I agree when it comes to AM/FM/CD stereo radios. You can purchase a better
quality unit (automotive grade) at half the cost, realizing though that it
is not *marinized* and rated for marine use.
