  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...

    XM Satellite Radio for boats

    I have XM in my home and car and love it. I have it on the boat but I really want a better stereo setup. 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...
