I have decided against removing the AM/FM/Cassette stereo from my boat

My son and daughter both use those radio signal attachments (wireless)
and say they sometimes lose signal strength. The other option for me is
to play it through the cassette player.
I can buy a hard wire connection for it but I don't want to spend $150
for it.
Does anyone here have any experience with the different types of methods
to play through the car/boat stereo and if so what is your
recommendation?
Jim, if you really like music and your ears are still good enough to hear
most of the notes, you won't like the FM broadcast iPOD hookups, in my
opinion. I've tried a couple to see how best to use my iPOD in my car,
and I have not come across one that I found aurally satisfactory.
If you are going to keep the boat for a while, get yourself a radio with
a direct iPOD jack.
My son bought one of those IPOD transmitting gizzmos to use in my van I
thought the sound was crappy.
I heard the same thing I did some research and found encouraging reports on
the Schosche FM Transmitter available at Walmart for only $17.
The reviews are here at this forum:

I could also consider a wired fm modulator which is normally superior to the
wireless kind.
