Tom,
I may have a Kenwood set to donate also. I will most likely replace it with an updated media player. All our audio is digital, Pandora, or Sirius. I just haven't decided which equipment to go with? Home or automotive?

I went with a kicker KMC-10 mounted on the helm. Also added 4 kicker 6.5" speakers 10" kicker subwoofer and kicker 700.5 amp. Added a remote on aft deck.
Also have Sirius.
Sounds like live concert if you turn it up. crystal clear at all volume levels.

Another great option is the Fusion line which is comparable with nema 2000 protocol used by Raymarine and Garmin so basically it turns tor plotter into a full function remote control. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cfo-UNeP84

hi all
we have a 390 circa 1993 and our inverter is located under the galley counter on the inside of the bulkhead atthe lower right hand side of the fridge. A little hard to get at through the door under the cutlery drawer, but there is tons or room in there. not sure if it is original equipment but it is an 1800 watt unit.
Have a look and see if yours is there.

We have searched. No converter on board. Both stereos are 12vdc. No sure what we will do? At the moment we just want to enjoy the boat as is.
