Superb Marine Electronics Unit

I am very impressed with this unit. I installed it on my Waverunner that I use for fishing and it has impeccable build quality and the GPS works perfectly. It's also surprisingly very energy efficient. As the PWC is power limited I was very pleased to see that it draws less than 0.5 amps at idle which is a plus.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Volume

Plastic bracket broken

I like this SH marine radio, size, ease of use. Just be careful when installing this on a center console bimini top. I have an Outrage 23 and this radio installed on a steel frame bimini top. On the first wavy day, plastic seals broke and the radio failed. Would have liked an option with a stainless steel mounting plate.

Pros
  • Marine electronics
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

STAY AWAY, DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.

I am very disappointed with this FM radio. I had it for a few weeks and it stopped working. The seller refunded my money but I received a message to return the radio which is not a problem but I never received any information about the return. This is very annoying. I would recommend people to stay away from the company that sold this through Revain.

Pros
  • car electronics
Cons
  • not reliable

There's a $50 discount! Ease of use

This is a great little radio for the money and also $50 off which was a real check which was nice. What. I installed it on my pontoon's console, the built in GPS antenna works fine at this point. The only complaint I have is that the speaker isn't the best, it sounds a bit tinny. Also, the display can be dimmed for night use, but the green light "receive" is very bright and as far as I know cannot be dimmed and is annoying at night. I don't know what that means for VHF radios, so I didn't rateโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Electronics

  • Some bugs
