Default Dual use of Cockpit Speakers??

Please post a followup if you find out how to do this.
I was unsucesful in doing this in my boat, a 19' runabout.
I tried using a double pole double throw switch so that I could hear either
the VHF radio or the AM/FM/Casette Player from the stereo speakers in the
rear of the boat. My intent was to be able to select which radio was heard
over the stereo speakers.
I settled for a headphone and separate mini speaker for the VHF radio.

I have a pair of speakers in the cockpit coaming for the AM/FM radio..

I would like to figure out a way to connect the VHF external speaker to

one
of these, so I can hear any calls on it in scan or monitoring of ch16.

Both radios are below deck so I can only hear them in the cockpit on a
remote speaker..

I know I could just use a toggle switch, but would prefer to find a way to
combine both outputs so the VHF would be heard over the AM/FM output.

Is there a simple way to do this and prevent one unit from harming the
other??
