SO, YOU’RE PREPPING YOUR SPORT BOAT FOR THE SEASON AND IT
HITS YOU:
great-sounding tunes will turn your summer fun up a notch.
You know that a regular car system won’t survive the open water, so what to do?
Consider the many marine-specific stereos from brands like Clarion, Kenwood,
Pioneer, and others.
Unlike car audio components — which live in the watertight
interior of your vehicle — marine equipment has to be able to stand up to the
elements. The water, salt, and sun that make cruising around the waves so much
fun can also wreak havoc on your electrical components. If your gear isn’t
designed to withstand this sort of abuse, it won’t last a season.
Water resistance — this means the components can handle
splashes and light rain, but are not built to handle submersion. Levels of
resistance vary by manufacturer. Waterproof products are able to be fully
submerged, though the specifics do vary.
UV resistance — designed to withstand sun damage. Found on
receiver faceplates, speaker cones and remotes.
Anti-corrosion protection — specifically designed to resist
rust and the corrosive effects of salt water. Examples of anti-corrosive
features include coated circuit boards, plated connections, and a
rust-resistant chassis.
