This is pretty funny, as Mark Ransley posted in another group as if he knew
the
answers to these questions. Mark argues that regular car stereo equipment is
exactly the same as marine equipment. He's trolling here in hopes that someone
who doesn't really know any better will agree with him.

I didn't read it that way at all. He did seem to be punctuation challenged.
You seem to be the perpetual troll here.

I might believe that marine units have extra waterproofing, and often WX
channels, but I've been much happier with standard auto equipment, and never had
a failure. Currently I use a Sony with a CD changer and a wired remote in the
cockpit. Cockpit speakers, of course, must be weatherproof. I've usually used
outdoor speakers down below, although modern speaker cones don't absorb water
the way old one did.
