Boat Radio

[Meely]

I have just taken the boat out of storage and have her dockside.

I noticed I have a problem with my radio. It does not want to turn on all the time.

If I turn it off and on continuously, eventually it will "catch" and turn on.

Then, if I turn it off it may or may not turn back on again. I then have to go through the whole routine again and eventually it will turn on.

 

What do you guys think it might be?

If you can get behind it, check out the wiring. May have come loose or corroded and not getting a proper connection. I know that is the problem with mine, I just haven't the time to fix it yet.

Try getting at the wiring and jiggling them while turning the switch on and off. Could be a loose or corroded connection.

It may also be a worn out on-off switch.

Does the radio appear to be old? If yes, then, you may want to replace it.

What happens when you hit it with a hammer?
