Mark argues that regular car stereo equipment is
exactly the same as marine equipment.


West Marine used to sell some "white radios" which were identical to the
automotive units asside from the color. They were not weatherproofed in any
way. I don't think they sell them anymore.
That said, on your C&C 27 or my 32, a regular car stereo mounted below decks
will work for a long, long time. If you're going to mount on a cockpit, then
something serious in a gasketed box is best.
