  1. Teak Enclosure and upgrade to boat Stereo System

    E380 Teak Enclosure and upgrade to boat Stereo System

    Another weekend and another project completed! This time how to condense down a whole starboard locker full with an original Pacific Seacraft factory installed 1996 Kenwood 8 deck CD player and tape cassette player stereo. My nav station is pretty much maxed out with stuff and so not a lot of...

    E32-200 Splicing tiny wires

    This note like my other one on coaxial cables has been marinating since late May, 2020. As part of my boat network upgrade I wanted to add a remote microphone to my helm while moving the radio head unit below deck into my navigation system. The connectors for the remote mic cable were too...

I have it hooked up to the stereo below but I need to go below to change the channel on the XM reciever or to adjust volume or fader. A friend has a stereo on his boat which is mounted below...

    SSB radio

    Anyone have any thoughts on SSB? I am comtemplating taking my 381 to Mex this winter and think SSB may be something I want to look into but my only attempt at SSB was playing with one occassionally on a delivery to HI and got frustrated trying to figure it out. Any prefs on brands/models...
