[QUOTE="Jepalan, post: 8154444, member: 655519"] Head unit is likely bad, but there are a few more things to check... - measure the DC voltage at the head unit to make sure it has enough voltage. Sometimes under-voltage can cause strange noises in electronics as internal switching supplies struggle to buck the voltage to usable levels. - Does your boat have an alternator & voltage regulator system? If so, then first make sure it is not injecting noise into the power chain by running the head unit off of a battery only for a little while (connect amp(s) and head unit to only the battery and see if noise goes away. - If noise is gone when running on battery only, then you might need a bigger alternator, or new voltage regulator or a noise filter on the power lines to your head unit.
