I believe there is a speaker overload protection with your radio. The horn wire and the speaker wires run in the same bundle and you can access the horn wires by removing the right front speaker. I would try disconnecting the front speakers to see if it makes a difference. There is one large...

Do you have 2 batteries? I found it easier to disconnect the speakers at the head unit.. Also there are 2 inline fuses for the radio.

I think it's a technicality. I asked the mayor once and the people at the marina. They don’t want people to do this but they can’t stop them. There are coves along the river and in the lake where you could drop anchor and no one would care. If you are traveling up river from the power plant...

Thanks for your help and this is a great suggestion to boost the aux input. My problem was actually a weak battery. Just strong enough to run the radio but not strong enough to power the internal amp of the radio. Strange and I pulled what hair I had trying to find the problem. But I got a deep...

Ok – I found the problem with my XMD3. My second battery was weak and was not sending enough power to the radio. I didn't think about this because the battery was strong enough to trim the out drive and run the radio at weak levels. It wasn't till I gave up after trying a new radio and cutting a...

Remove all wires from the positive post. The large red wire is the starter / alternator wire. All other wires can be moved to the 2nd battery. If you want extra precaution you could keep the bilge pump and stereo memory wire on the starter battery ( since that battery is least likely to be fully...

I have a XMD3 and a similar problem. I also purchased another radio and hoped to install this weekend. I read somewhere that the stereo has a overload protection. If the wires short then the power is reduced. If the stereo swap works then I won't worry about it. If not then I will be unplgging...

Do you think it was for a 1998 Ford Taurus Engine: 3.0L V6 Gas OHV Distributorless Naturally Aspirated MPI Electronic FI MFI http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000C7Z84Y/ref=asc_df_B000C7Z84Y866521?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&tag=dealt47377-20&linkCode=asn $35 on Amazon

I think I have the same problem. Is there anything that can be cleaned where the switch is attached to the outdrive?

Spring Lake is next to Grand Haven MI. You can boat up from lake MI or trailer and launch. I purchased my boat from Skipper Buds and get an invite every year. I have never made it to the event but I was there the day before last year and was very surprised how large the setup was. I would like...

Thanks - I will give it a try.

The sound of my head unit is very low. At the highest setting of 33 is like the old setting of 5. This happens on tuner, CD and AUX. I tired resetting the unit. I looked and couldn't find a reason why the sound is so low. It wouldn't break my heart to replace the unit but I don't want to lose...

I got tired of the cooler not keeping stuff cool. I got this Igloo MaxCold cooler and after a small modification to the holder the cooler fits nicely. The top flips in the length direction which makes getting stuff easier and best of all it keeps stuff cold. After 8 hours about 1/3 of the ice...

Your speakers are 6 1/2. A lot of people have installed Polk DB 651. I have the Polks, a small amp and a sub-woofer and the sound is greatly improved over the stock. If you have the stock radio there are 2 connections for Amps. I kept the original grills by breaking off the retaining ring from...

The size and lenght of the wire is important for the relay to work correctly. I know it seems small but it works.

If the holes are closer to the rub rail then the water line then I would leave them there for the weekend. I would put a dab of silicone on each tip. Between the screw and the silicone I think the water would stay out. The holes can be fixed but I would insist on a repair person with a lot of...

I planned the install for 2 seasons. Worried about the connections. Last year we started using rack storage and I couldn't rely on charging the battery before each trip. The install turned out to be very easy. Wish I would have done it years ago. Look at figure 1 of the attachment in my post...

There is a an optional control wire with the Yandina. Not sure when you would want to use it. The link below is to the install manual. You can purchase directly from Yandina or save a few dollars and purchase from one of their retailers. Look at the first picture in the manual for the simple way...

There could be some differences but they are both relays. When they know the motor is running they put the charge to both batteries. When the motor stops the relay disconnects and prevents the batteries from bleeding power from each other. The Yandina is about $55 and I have used it for 2 years...

I wondered about the protection. I decided to keep my original covers.
