Relay for stereo rocker switch
What relay can I use to wire to my stereo rocker switch on my rocker panel? I'm just looking for a simple relay so I can run a direct wire for my head unit to the battery switch.

Any will work. Just go to AutoZone and pick up a relay for foglights. Why the need to use a relay instead of using the rocker for just the head unit?

Most head units have a Constant Power (yellow) wire and a Switched Power (red) wire in the harness. The yellow goes to +12v constant and the red wire goes to a switch or ignition and just turns on the radio (like an amp remote wire). I have seen many times in boats these get tied together. You likely would not need to add a relay if this is the case. Just separate the two respectively.
