Steve,
My radio is wired direct to the battery (with a fuse). No problems in 12
years of operation. Frankly, I'm surprised the radio still works! I would
like to replace it so I can have one with a aux jack for my XM radio. The
FM converter ain't the best.

Subject: Stus-List Stereo constant 12V
Hi All.
I've gone ahead and hooked up a kenwood car stereo in my 32. I like to think
I did a pretty neat install. I removed the cross member at the top of the
nav station, cut a hole in it for the deck and reassembled. It looks
"factory", you know, if they installed disco light stereos back in 1980.
What is it with the current manufacturers making all of the car stereos ugly
as sin these days? Anyway, I digress..
How many of you keep the yellow (constant 12V) hooked up to the battery at
all times?
The reason I ask is not because of the radio stations .. it's because it's a
bluetooth deck and when you cut power to it entirely it forgets all the
settings and that's a pain in the ass to do every time. Anyway, I can
conveniently stream music from my phone and have it play in the cockpit or
cabin or both .. it's pretty sweet.
Once I recover from the spring spend I'll be installing a 100 Watt solar
panel on top of the bimini .. but for now, I'm on a mooring and I don't want
to kill my battery.
