Gauge Style Stereo

[Draki]

Hi - I want to fit a stereo to my RIB. I have an old unused gauge that I want to remove and replace with a radio with bluetooth. I don't have space (in a convenient place) to fit a more traditional head-unit

Does anyone have any experience of these:
Waterproof Compact Marine Stereo with Bluetooth, Aux-In & AM/FM Radio | Piplers

Or have an alternative suggestion?

many thanks

Very good quality being MB Quart and very compact....

Perhaps what you need is some type of system that can be tucked away somewhere and you simply have a remote dial on the console.

My next sterio will be going that route as the current one plus two others over the years mounted in the console dash have all suffered from the effect of sea salt, sun, cold, wet and the surrounds of the facia have all cracked or started to disintegrate. (even with a plastic cover when not in use) The weather just kills stuff after a while.

Thanks - rather more than I want to be pay tbh - but looks like an excellent system.. And I agree re: the weather/ sea taking it's toll - hence going for a more budget system, and expecting to replace it in a few years
