Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I love the feature set of this unit, it provides everything I need in a great package, with enough audio output for my needs and the USB Function means I can toss a USB thumb drive in it and play all my favorites, but when done I can grab that and throw it in my car and do the same. Havin the aux means I can use any MP-3 player, Mine, my buddys or a fellow rafter who has killer tunes but no tunes on his boat. This also is cool cause I can use a smart phone and play Pandora off of my Droid. CD/R RW is great cause I can burn a CD with a whole days worth of music and keep it on the boat.
So why the low rating, the title says it all. This thing for whatever reason will draw the power down on my boat battery if I leave the keep alive circut connected to the power buss and turn the unit off. Seems like a no brainer to turn the battery switch off each time, but the one time you forget, BAM! you got a dead battery on the boat in a matter of a week. I wonder if it is turning itself on or something, and then running the bat down, because the keep alive voltage is WAY WAY to small to draw down the AGM batts I have on the boat by itself....
May have to take it back over to West Marine and change it out for another head unit, maybe that will fix it, but I am giving folks a heads up. If you only have one battery in your boat, be aware of this potential problem.
As for the features and such, it is a great unit, reliable, with good audio quality. Speakers are just OK, and the press on covers tend to bounce out. Because my speakers are mounted facing down out of my electronics box I had to jam a bit of thin plastic in the groove with the cover to keep em from falling out when I hit a wake or running "Outside the Gate". This is better than gluing them so I can get em off if I need to. Overall I am happy, and would be elated if I did not have this problem keep showing up.
