am/fm cd stereo

[seadiva]

hi everyone, i instaled a stereo in my boat. i put a protective cover on it. it was workin fine. yesterday my boy and i went to the lake here. the cd player was on, when the stereo made a noise and stoped working i think it may have gotten some water on it im not sure, i did not see any. my boy was cleaning a small mess he made with some water. i have checked the wiring. the speakers were crackling a bit then nothing. i did get the cd out, but the stereo will not work. what should i look for? this is a jvc stereo, and not a marine type.

If it is brand new, bring it back and tell them it was DOA.<br /><br />If it is used, place it in the circular file and start over. Water ruins radios once exposed. Good luck.

take a hair drier to it & sea if that works.<br />if not take it back, tell them it doest work.<br />those covers arent that great. you really need to put it a water proof box that has a cover. they are about $60 from west marine , overtons or caebelas.<br />this site mite even offer them.<br />-<br />they do make serveral water proof units at $300 to $400.<br />but im with you on that car unit, it just needs to be protected.<br />i put mine in the cuddy, my remote is voice command- ( the passenger )

thanks, i was hoping it would dry out. i will try the hair dryer. if not i guess i will just start over and try taking it back to the store. this unit was $160.00. hope it works, cant afford another at this time.
