i'd like to put a vhf radio in my boat ,

can I use a cover like this

in the side panel above the normal radio?
will this fit a vhf like a icom 402 ?

Probably not - but Icom marine radios are waterproof by themselves, so
don't need any additional protection. (At boat shows, Icom displays
_working_ radios in a bucket of water, and according to the local rep,
has used the same radios for a couple of years - other makers have
tried this, but no longer do it...)


what mods do I need to make to my boat ?

many thanks
