Marine or not
Is there a performance reason to go with non marine vs. marine?
I'm looking at the 2 of these for my system.

Marine grade is not necessary .........
Get the Sony DSX-S310BTX ...................the extra $$$$ will be worth the Bluetooth option !!

a common misnomer sir. Marine head units will not take any more abuse than a standard radio and they come at the expense of giving up features and functionality.
Think about what gets wet first. The face. The face on a marine unit is no more protected than a standard head unit is. The only thing that makes it "marine" is a conformal coating on the internal circuit board. That's it!
Do yourself a favor and get the radio that you want with the features that you want.

One thing a lot of people don't think about...I installed a marine grade Sony receiver in my Street Glide and my father in law installed a non marine Sony. I can see my display in direct sunlight (marine are designed for that) and he has a hard time seeing his in sunlight. Just another thing to consider.
