This is the rubber gasket that used to be on my remote. I took the measurments from it. All the measurments are pretty exact, Except the hole. I said it was 2 but I dont know how to read a tape correctly it is 2 inches and the first click or mark on the tape, LOL

man that is to close for comfort i mite have to build a bracket and hang it under my dash, i wish i could find a radio that still had the old round style controls. my boat has a round controller already in it but i don't think it will be compatible with the radio im lookin at.

Rockford Fosgate and MB Quart have a marine radio with a round remote like the old Clarion unit.

The Rockford and MB Quart are the same, just a different name on the bottom.

Ehh not to sound like some engineer or anything but if its a standard tape its broken into 16's. So each mark is 1/16th. If its a ruler then it could be any derivitive of 16. Like 32 64 128... you get the idea.

Hole size is 2 1/8". Instructions will say to use a 2" hole saw but if you do you will also need a 5lb hammer.

Instructions say its a 2-1/8 they are wrong. The hole will have lots of slop.

Well thanx greg for educating us all on the tape measure, i ended up ordering the clarion M335. it was the same namebrand that my mastercraft came with and im probably gona be purchasing a few of their amps as well. as far as the controller ill build a bracket and hang it so i can reach it and be out the way at the sametime so it all good. thanx for the pictures and advice guys.
