This spring, I put a new starter battery in, given that the old one was at least 8 years old.  I cleaned up all the connections at the same time.  After getting everything on the boat set, I thought I would check the radio, see if it was getting power, etc.  Well, I turned on the accessory switch and the radio works just fine.  My one thought was that one of the connections was corroded and cleaning it cleared up the problem.  However, I can't believe that the radio would be the only thing on a lead.  And all other accessories worked before, locators, bilge pumps, lights, etc.  Thoughts?[/QUOTE]

Late in the season last year, I bought a used Lund Pro V. I spent a lot of time with the former owner going over everything, except the radio. I saw it was there but since I seldom use a radio except if I am on the water when the Packers are playing, it is not an issue for me. My son came up to fish with me a few weeks later and wanted to put some tunes on. He could not get the radio to work, despite having the original owners manual. Checked everything, nothing helped.
