Replace Stock Radio
I want to replace my stock radio with a new cd player but I want the dash controls to still work. Where can I get the harness for that to work? Is there a way to do it without it?

So I installed my new cd player today with built in HD radio. It sounds great, big difference over the stock radio. The HD channels come in crystal clear. Even with the stock speakers its a lot better. Thanks for all the help.

Hey 3ngin33r1,
Do you still have the Conqueror? What size is it? I have been thinking about getting one to restore. The wife wants to get something big for traveling around the sound in. I really like the looks of those old boats. If your ever out on the water you should bring it down to Bremerton, I live over on Oyster Bay (Dyes Inlet Area).

It's moored in Port Orchard down at the Railway Marina...
Yes, I still have it. It's 40.8 feet, double plank Philippine Mahogony hull, teak decks, powered by twin Ford 427s putting out just over 600HP. 300 gallons of fuel, 100 gallons water, 2 state rooms, 2 heads, shower, full galley and dinette, saloon, 6.5kw GenSet, sleeps 8.
It's undergoing restoration/upgrades right now but will be heading out for the first time in 3 years on the 4th of July.
If you're interested in Chris-Crafts, take a look at the CCABC website (http://www.chris-craft.org), I'm over there with the same name and the annual PacNW Chris-Craft Rendezvous is coming up in Port Orchard July 10-13 (http://www.chriscraftrendezvous.com/), something like 150+ Chris-Crafts of all ages.
Craigslist has a few for sale and I also have an archive of nearly every manual, sales brochure, tech spec, diagram, photo, whatever you want (about 3TB of information) and would be more than happy to check one out that you're interested in before you buy it.
Just be aware, the happiest days of boat ownership will be the day you buy it and the day you sell it. It will consume a lot of time and money and you really need a passion when it comes to these old beauties. Be prepared to spend $600 for one battery (you'll need two of them), $500 for a battery charger, $50 for a single 50amp breaker, $1,500 for an electrical panel, etc. Be careful when you say you want a fixer upper...
There's a reason why bank loans for boat purchases are mortgages...
Like I said, I've got a ton of information if you're interested I know just about everyone in Kitsap County that is worth a crap to work on a boat if you're not able to and I've learned to find just about every little thing wrong on these old things, stuff you would never think of unless you spent days in the bilge, if you'd like my help, just let me know.

Let me know when you are ever down this way I would love to come take a look at your boat. You must be doing a full restore on it if it's going to take 3 years. You really must have a love for it. I don't know if I could wait that long. lol There is a neighbor of mine that has an old Monk that has been pulled up on the beach for years. He was going to restore it but there it sits.
