Can I install a regular car deck (am-fm-cd player) in my NAME YOUR BOAT
HERE...
Of course you can and if you do a decent installation (NO wire nuts or twisted
wiring with electrical tape, etc and some splash protection) it will last for
years. Damn, it's a stereo system, not a liferaft or gps!
The SONY system adapeted from my sons car has lived in my cabin (in a salt
water marina) for 6 years...still works fine!
Good luck
Mike

Thanks to all for input! Stereo/CD Player is now installed and
working great!

Will still go to Home Depot to buy and on/off switch to kill all power
from the 12V battery (not a big deal if I loose presets and accurate
clock) when boat is not used for more than 2 weeks.

Go to a boat store and buy yourself a marine battery switch.

And don't forget to pay your taxes so the rich don't have to!

Battery switches for boats must be explosion-proof (ignition protected) and you
won't find that at HOME DEPOT!
Try your local boat supply place or WEST MARINE or OVERTONS or???
A good Marine switch is cjeaper than the fire that can result if you don't use
one!
