Transom speakers on a 240 sport
 

Has anybody here seen or know of transom speakers installed on a 240 sport?

Any tips/tricks or Pros and Cons?

Thanks!

I would not do it.

Why not?? Just curious

You'll rot your transom out, kid!!!

Yea - that is what they said when people started to install transom lights too!

Thats a very small hole. Putting speakers in there is a lot bigger hole. Not to mention taking waves off the stern, might let a bit of water in and trash some speakers.

I am not 100% sure about the 240's set up but if it is anything like my 280 there is a swim platform and some unused transom space above the platform. That may be a spot to put speakers and protect them from the backwash/ waves in the stern. I

t is funny because I was just having this conversation with a friend of mine who saw it on a cruiser. Obviously it was a different application but it allowed the boat to play music directly where you want it, in the water where youy are hanging out, and not all over the place because you have to crank it up so loud to hear it. He seemed to think that having well placed speakers in the transom could cut down on noise complaints. I just don't think it is a bad idea. And there is no such thing as it can't be done in my book!!!

I thought about doing it on my 89 Baja Force w/ molded swim platform. Im guessing you have a built in swim platform? Not sure if you can. It does not look like there is much room(depth) because the transom wood inside comes up. Maybe if you put them lower.

Quick, easy and painless - just store them in the cabin!!
