I would like to hook up a radio in my Bass Tracker. I know I could alway get a car stereo to do this but I'd like to avoid cutting out a mounting location for the unit and also the speakers. Let alone all the wiring needed for the unit, speakers and antenna.<br />Does anyone know of a simple AM/FM radio (the smaller the better) with a built in speaker that will allow me to hook it up to the battery in my boat or junction box...<br />I guess I could live with AA batteries but if I could run it off the trolling battery (no worries) it would be better...<br />Thanks in advance

If you search the forum, you'll find a topic regarding radios (auto/marine).<br /><br />In your case I'd look for a standard portable radio, designed for outdoors or even marine use.<br /><br />Maybe something like

The DeWalt was an example only. It's the ridgidity I'm focussing on. Many portables won't last in marine environment, so some kind of weatherproof is needed.<br /><br />Looking around one comes across several gizmos:<br /> http://www.shoplifestyleonline.com/lx847.html
