Posted Hide Post Hi, If your boat uses a 12v battery and negative ground then here is what you do. You will have to either find a gauge or similiar item that uses power and tap into those lines for your radio. OR you could run wiring to your battery but make sure you put a fusible link on the positive wire. This way works well if you want to run the radio while the engine is off. As for speakers, just mount them where you want them and run speaker wire to your radio, then start cranking tunes! I hope this helps.
