Stereo equipment in boat
I'll put in a dissenting opinion - I've always used marine or outdoor speakers,
but I'm not sure its needed for the electronics, especially given the premium they charge. Currently I'm using a Sony car radio with a 10 CD changer. It was bought almost 4 years ago and has survived with no trouble, including a year in the tropics. BTW, the almost new "marine" unit that it replaced was given to a friend who reports that it died recently. "Keith" wrote in message ... I would say very important. Speakers won't last long at all. I put a regular car stereo in the pilothouse of my trawler. VERY protected from the weather, and it still crapped out after about 18 months. I think it's just the humid air/environment that gets to it. Probably in my case a bit of salt air, but I'm normally in brackish water. I'd stick with marine stuff. I especially like my Bose box speakers outside! -- Keith __ "There are two theories to arguing with a woman. Neither one works." - Will Rogers "somebody" wrote in message ... OK - this may be a no brainer but I have to ask. Exactly how vital is it to use marine grade equipment when installing a stereo in a boat? I realize that if water gets in the head unit it would probably fry but if I protected it from that somehow, could I safely install the old car stereo and speakers I have sitting in my closet in my fishing boat? I'm half a country away from any salt water so that won't be a concern. Any help would be appreciated. Thanx! |
