Interesting. So that isn't a marine radio. I guess the glove box door is enough to keep it from getting wet. Not a bad price for that online (around $100). Do you know if the wiring harness is the same as stock? I would like the iPod controls and the Pandora would be nice also.
We learned a lot from our first trip last weekend about the 190. The original owner mentioned that he never had the carpet in the boat - we left it in and it was full of sand after a couple stops. Not sure how many power-washing it will take before I ditch it. We also noted that the locking glove box only holds a small amount of stuff. I will probably invest in some locking handles for the ski locker so we can put purses etc in there when we stop for lunch and leave the boat. Took a bit for me to learn the trim on the boat but I think I have it figure out. I have never owned a I/O boat with a swim platform before so it took getting used to using the trim gauge instead of visually seeing the motor trim up (outboard). I still need to figure out how shallow I can go at different trims. I know you aren't supposed to go over 1200 RPM with the trailer tilt all the way up.
Sorry, I have not idea on the wiring harness - my dealer did all the installation for me on the sound system.
I have certainly noticed it does not take much uptrim at all while on plane, it can be sensitive to trim settings.
I saw that same comment about not going over 1200 rpm with trailer tilt up, not sure I would be comfortable at all letting the motor run with the trailer tilt all the way up.
