My boat been around a long time. I did install a speaker (1980s) in the
side of the cubby at the front of the cockpit that was hard wired to
double throw switch (DP-DT: VHF in - Out to speaker - Radio in) at the
Nav Station, selectable: VHF or FM/AM/Tape. Both radios are long gone.
Now the AM/FM is bluetooth with a Bose Soundlink mini in a ziplock bag
placed in the cubby and the installed cubby speaker always selected to
VHF. We also have a handheld at the helm pedestal, always on and a
spare handheld down below. Always able to communicate with the race
committee and the heavy commercial shipping.

Raymarine made a wired waterproof mono remote speaker with a volume
control (as do many others). It’s about 4x4 inches. I have one close
to the helm and it works great. It would be awful to have to choose
between music and vhf!
