The water, salt, and sun that make boating so much fun can wreak havoc on your boat's electrical components. If your gear isn't designed to withstand this environment, it won't last a season. That's why it's so important to choose the right gear for your boat's audio system. From your CD receiver to your cables, everything needs to be ready for life on the water.
Here's a quick guide to some terms you'll see frequently when you're shopping for marine audio gear:
Water-resistant — Can handle splashes and light rain, but not built to handle submersion. Levels of resistance vary by manufacturer.
Waterproof — Able to be fully submerged, though depths and the amount of time underwater vary by manufacturer.
UV-resistant — Designed to withstand sun damage. Found on receiver faceplates, speaker cones and grilles.
Anti-corrosion — Specifically designed to resist rust and the corrosive effects of salt water. Examples of anti-corrosive features include coated circuit boards, plated connections, and a rust-resistant chassis.
