Boat stereo install

Post by jjcanoe »

The new boat came without a radio, so I decided to remedy the situation this weekend. Went with the Jensen MS30, since it was just about the only radio that would fit the space I had, the flush mount (3/4" thick) helped keep my knuckles from changing the station while steering. Clarion marine speakers.

That is such a cool little radio!!! I had no idea you could get a radio in that kind of form-factor.

Thanks for sharing and educating!

There's a few different models and brands like that, added an auxiliary jack and USB port for bringing my satellite radio or sons Iphone for music in remote locations up north.

For sure, slow and steady, no need to rush through it and make mistakes. Turned out great and looks good :)
