Mike, explain a little more about this if you could "running the Deck at 75 to 80%", what volume on the head unit should I run at, seams I did have it a higher number sunday vrs last year.

is the headunit volume not supposed to have a effect on volume coming out the amps to the speakers?

Battery-when the boat would not start I switched to "both" to start it, then switched back to batt 1 to charge while the boat was in use, I have the amps wired directly to the switch so the amps where also on batt 1 but I was not running the stereo the whole time. never shut the boat off till it went on the trailer

may be my dead bow speakers and the one dead tower speaker sent it to protect mode. i know i have the bow speakers wired incorrectly as they did work prior to the rewire, I do know the tower speaker is a connection in that speaker only, I started off with 2 not working but swapped them with the two working and one came back to life and that same speaker was not working in the new position on the tower so I know the wiring in the tower is not the issue. I do know when i put the harpoon in all the tower speakers where working, wonder if sitting for about 4 months with the speakers sitting off to the sided caused a connection issue. this is humid florida after all and in 22 yrs down here this has been my longest stint at not getting on the water

think I'll open that speaker up and check my connections sometime soon but again, it may be a little while before i get a chance to check stuff but I may call when im going at it to chat about it
