We just bought a new X-10, awsome boat, however having a few minor issues one of which is we get radio signal interfernce when the ignition is turned to the right. Any suggestions on how to solve? (My father-in-law needs his sunday morning oldies.)

Welcome
There are some stereo experts on this board (I'm not one of them). BUT, typically there is a ground problem when you get ignition interference. Best thing to do is look for a loose ground OR, signal wires running right next to power and ground wires(they pretty much need to be run seperately when possible)

go over your grounds, make sure the cd player is grounded to somewhere metal.

No, only when we try and get radio reception.

we have the same problem on our 2005 197, and my dad does as well...radio station comes in great as long as the boat isn't running...but when the boat is running get all kinds of interference on every station, even those in our backyard!!!
what is interesting, we don't have these problems in our vehicles???
