It is possible to use car audio equipment in your boat, and why wouldn't people think so. Many people get long life out of stereos made for automobiles. However, if you don't plan on exercising a lot of care and maintenance, you will definitely want to consider a dedicated marine radio. Water, excess moisture, dew and rough waves are all hard on electronic equipment. The marine stereos and waterproof speakers we carry are designed and tested to ensure they will last in marine environments. We design all of our systems to work in bumpy environments – so you can hit the waves and water without worry.
One big advantage of our Marine Radios is the ability to add wired and RF wireless remote controls to them, so you can choose your music from anywhere – inside or outside your boat. Some prefer a wireless waterproof type of remote that can float. Great for playing in the water and making changes to your settings from anywhere. Wired remotes are usually installed in parts of the boat away from the stereo so that changes can easily be made and are available to everyone all the time. Newer controllers even show you the song or station name of what you are listening to.
We carry radios and controllers with completely waterproof faceplates, as well as splash covers and enclosures for non-waterproof units – keeping you and your purchase covered.
