When I bought my 2002 from the original owner, the radio was DOA because it was a $59 BestBuy special. I replaced with a "marine grade" 4000 from West Marine.
Last spring (2015) after a winter covered and stored in driveway that unit was also dead.
They replaced it and when I put the boat in the water last week that one was dead.
A MARINE GRADE radio should survive high humidity, high and low temps etc. right?
Do those of you with helm mounted radios remove them and take them inside for the winter?
I am putting a blanking plate on the opening in the helm and if I bother with another radio I'm going to put it inside and use a remote.
