The Shipshape boating episode last weekend was about installing a
stereo in John's Whaler.

He used two parts that I need for my installation. I can't find them on
any of the usual sites. I deleted the episode from my Tivo, so I don't
know the vendor names. The DIYnet web site has no vendor info

The first item is a really nice surface mount cover.

The second item is the rack or tray that he used to support the stereo
assembly. The tray mounts behind the panel and supports the stereo.

Does anyone have any leads?

Scroll down to Marine Accessories

Cheezy plastic surface mount covers aren't that hard to find. They are
around $20.00 or so. Nice ones like the one used on the show are
likely more money.

I am way more interested the tray.

Thanks for helping

If you are considering a weatherproof enclosure such as this one
http://tinyurl.com/moa8x be aware that you may have an overheating problem,
especially when you run a cd, as these units appear to be totally sealed.

Why not consider an under dash installation using something like this

......and build the back support for the unit yourself.

I was not planning on using a weatherproof enclosure. The heat issue
is one of the reasons. Under dash won't work. There isn't enough
legroom to spare for under dash install. I already cut the hole in the
dash. The little tray provided with the stereo can't be mounted well.
The dash is almost 3" thick. :-(

Thanks for the suggestion..
