Hello! I am new to the forum and just have a question about a radio. I recently bought a 2012 Rinker
CapTiva 246 Bow Rider. The receiver in this boat is dated to the year it was built and there is no Bluetooth which I would like to have for the upcoming boating season. Has anybody replaced the receiver to a Bluetooth model and which model did you install? Any help would be appreciated!

I found it much more economical and easier to just add Bluetooth to the existing radio.

My boat came with cassette and no input jack, so I installed a Dual radio. Any brand will do and it's the same installation as in a car. If you match the brand you currently have, it may have the same wire harness and all you'll need to do is unplug the harness from the back of the current radio and plug in the new one. Something to consider.
