BOSS Audio Systems MRC5B Marine Waterproof Radio Cover

Fits exactly as installed. Very easy to install. I did remove the two vertical connecting plastic pieces to all my new single din marine radio to fit

Great product. I really like it, but it wont fit my boat. Make sure you measure the opening for your existing radio.

I like that this enclosure allows me to use a single din radio system on my 2022 can am Maverick X3 max RS turbo RR. I installed a marine stereo with 4 marine 6.5 speakers and a 12" Sub box all for about $250. Now the x3 jam's with all the bass you could ever want hands down 10x better then any speaker bar out there.

For practical use I would give this unit a 4 or maybe 5 stars. For design (most likely in Asia) I would give it a one. Please read, as if you are an novice stereo installer you might hit some bumps with this design. First of all the good: Once modified and installed the housing looks good, feels sturdy and should work quite nicely. I'm a little suspect of the hinged cover, but where mine is installed it will be out of the way of knees and elbows, So, from the beginning, make sure you have some sandpaper or a fine file, as on my unit the face-plate that your DIN mount slides through will probably need modified. It IS a single DIN opening, but the flash from the plastic molding wouldn't allow my chassis to slide in until I sanded it vigorously to widen and square the corners. Once the chassis is in the housing, it's time to connect the back-plate to the wires from the stereo. This does make the unit technically more water resistant, but adds an extra step as you have to connect the wires from the harness of the stereo to the back plate of the housing, then connect it again to power, ground speakers. One really bad design flaw in the back plate is that it does not have a wire for remote connection of an amplifier (typically a blue wire) It does have two sets of pre-outs and all of the other wires. The other bad design flaw, which will catch you if you don't pay attention is that the back plate wire that come out of the housing (and inside) are not industry standard color coded. Most all car stereos have a four color standard with black stripe for the negative. This unit does not. You just have to be careful to write down what speakers you connect to the wire on the back plane. Then, you have to use a dremel of other precise grinding tool to make room to run the remote wire from the receiver to your amp .That's the good and the bad. It was a bit more work than I anticipated, but really looks good after "fixing it"

I have a 20 year old boat that’s in near-new condition but the audio system was embarrassingly dated and marginally functional. Picked up a Bluetooth streaming stereo but needed a likewise updated sleeve and splash guard to mount it. This did the job perfectly. I had to sand out the dash slot just a little bit to get it to fit but with a little tenacity, it snugged right in. The spring-loaded roll-back door glides smoothly to the open position with the touch of the latch button. The Mrs. even gave it the feng-shui nod! Score one for the fisherman!

Or dared to replace an older broken boat stereo cover. Thought it would be sort of plug & play, but quickly discovered I had to cut the stereo hole bigger to accommodate this one and some additional trimming to allow the tinted cover to slide open/shut. Don’t think I will ever purchase this particular brand again.

Complicated instilation in most boats, upper edge needs to be cut at an angle so visor has room to open, there is a little lip that sticks up off visor and makes it even trickier. The plastic and quality of materials used to make this seems of great quality, I ordered numerous weather proof head unit covers and decided to keep this one even though you have to cut a HUGE hole in your boat.

I had to replace the one I had, cause someone broke the cover while passing by. That product is way better as it doesn’t stuck out too much like my old one. So it’s safe to say no one will hit it this time.

The cover fit perfectly for my set up , one issue I have is the cover had a scratch on it. But otherwise great product. Would have five stars if it didn't have the scratch mark.

Looks great. Mounted with no issues at all. It does have a plastic hinge which isn't a problem out of the box but could become brittle with age and weather exposure.

Easy installation, good quality for the price. Especially useful if you do not have the room to install a hinged cover as this one uses minimal space to open.

Gives a modern look to your old boat.
