I second the fusion! Its only cheap in price. i got mineon ebay from best buys outlet page. because it had a bad speaker output, i got it for $50. I added a wired remote @ transom and one in the dash, radio is in cabin. mine has the built in ipod dock. best radio ihave had in boat. i previously had a high end Alpine......

Your best bet is to skip the marine units altogether. You pay a premium for the marine label and a normal auto head unit will probably last just as long if you give it reasonable protection. I've had a nice Alpine car stereo in my boat for years with no problem and I paid a lot less for that than a many cheap ass marine units. More power and more features per dollar.
It's a different story with speakers however.

I agree with NH, but if you plan on adding a remote then most units are only offer when paired with a marine radio. We are a Alpine dealer and only their Marine decks can be used with their remotes.

Not all. Mine is a CDA9833 (not a marine unit) and and it did come with a remote even though I rarely use it. Things must be different today though.
