Tom,
Thanks for you reply. I have actually tried that. I've tried holding
it for 10 seconds or more just because I didn't know what else to try


Other than that, it's got to be a wiring issue or a miswired
connector
issue.

Do you mean the connector on the back of the receiver? The thing is
brand new and I tried another one that was brand new, so I think it's
safe to assume that's not it...

I assume that this radio comes with two connectors - one at the end of
a wire bundle coming out of the radio (or a connector at the radio)
and one for connecting the power, speakers, etc.

If the power, speakers, etc are one bundle connecting to the radio,
then I've got to suspect a miswire, blowen fuse, perhaps a hot wire
miswire - something is not wired correctly if all else is correct.

Or, based on nothing more than circumstance, the radio gods hate you
and don't want you to use a radio on your boat. :)

Later,

Tom
