Transom Remote
Whats up peeps????????
I can't seem to leave this boat alone..... Summer can't get here fast enough and I'm pretty sure once it gets here I'll be saving some money with the boat on the water and not starring at me every time I pull up in the drive way (begging for some new addition). Anyways, that being said does anyone have any input on installing a Transom remote, has anyone ever done it and or had it done but is familiar with doing it. Is there a specific brand to go with that is better than another, or is there a wireless version? I want to install one myself and just need input, Thanks.Ridin' Dirty!

That seems really high to me. My wife asked that I add a remote to "her" spot on the boat. She likes to sit in the bow on the drivers side and I always forget to turn the radio back after resuming riding. So I added a remote up front for her. Total cost......$50 remote and an $11 dollar Y-connector. Here are the results:

Well, what took the longest was trying to drink enough beer to get my courage up to drill the three holes it took to install it! I had to drill two small holes for the studs and an 1/2 hole for the wire. These holes had to go through the vinyl, cushion backing and the hull! Minus the beer time it took about an hour. I ordered a Y-connector that had the correct "ends" on them to just plug the remotes in instead of cutting and splicing. The Y-connector was about 15 feet long, so I had to shorten it, but no modifications had to be made to the remotes.

so you can have two remotes>>>>>
I have the factory 2007 remote on my outback and can't find another one anywhere online for sale, is SC the only place to get this item?
I did find another Kenwood remote, but it does not match so I was not sure if it would work.
Where did you find a Y connector?
JesseC you have got to me the most resourceful moomba owner out there.It is better barefoot!

Is your remote the same as the one in my picture or is it different?
As to the Y connector, I was pissed when it came in. It looked like a large coil of wire, but when I inspected the ends they were the mates to the factory remote connections so I did not feel as cheated paying $11 for a wire. I got mine off of ebay from Audio Allies do a google or ebay search for the following. In ebay it shows "No Matches", but if you scroll down there is an entry in the "stores".

Slick install indeed Jesse.
Someone out there just invent a volume control that follows engine RPMs.
This will prevent me from hitting Mute whenever I have to stop to pick up a rider ... and therefore prevent the women from bitching when we start back up and I forget to un-Mute!
Of course, I solved this problem by getting a waterproof ipod remote this off season - about the size of a key fob! Does anyone really use the radio?
BTW - my remote is diff from Jesse's - it looks like On Board's as posted here - just above, left of the throttle

Scoot,
HSE is coming out with a module that will turn down the volume when you slow down and turn it back up when your under way. It uses the engine RPM to control it.
