I've had an automotive Kenwood AM-FM-CD - removable face in my boat for 2 years
with no problem that I got on ebay. It had a radio before and I am still using
teh flip down door over the front. I did run all power through a panel
switch. You just have to hit "seek" the first time you get in it for the day
as it won't remember presets.

I just bought a used 1990 Bayliner Capri. It came with an AM-FM
cassette deck but only am-fm is working.

From an electrical viewpoint, is therre any reason I couldn"t simply
install a regular car deck in my boat?
