New (2003) boat came with a loud (#6 cables off the battery and 55 max amps) radio with USB inputs. These are perfect for a boat as the best CD player will skip in rough water. Fortunately, I had converted my entire CD collection to mp3s on the hard drive and transferred them to thumb drives...
My 98 270DA has the radio, cassette tape, and remote at the helm. Can I select a newer clarion to use the remote and connections but has the AUX input for MP3s instead. Haven't had much luck talking with Clarion.:grin:
