Anybody know where I can get a replacement Clarion Marine XMD3 stereo??

[hindsbeans@hotmail.com]

Hi All, first time post from a new Nautique owner (well, new to me, a 2005 Super Air 210), so please bear with me if I'm posting this in the wrong forum.

The stereo unit in the boat is not working, it's a Clarion Marine XMD3, I've been able to work out with eletric meters that the power into the unit is OK, so I'm looking to replace the unit. Other than ebay (I've got alerts set up on there), does anyone know where I might find an old unit, maybe one that someone has sitting on a shelf gathering dust?! Are there boat equivalents of car scrap yards or boat breakers that strip all the parts out of old boats.

Any help in helping this newbie in Ireland out is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Peter

For everyone's else's reference, this is what it looks like when removed from the boat. (In the photo there are two silver plastic panels removed from either side to access the screws)

We replaced ours with a CDM-6

Thanks for the responses folks. It turns out the XMD3 comes up quite often on ebay, I've watched a few auctions end before I bought one, they usually go for about USD$60-65.

Maybe it's just the coward in me but I always try to replace parts with the exact same part, I'm not confident enough to start drilling into anything on a boat so best to use the screwholes already there!!
