I also have the splitter which worked well until a storm came through 
while my wife was at the marina listening to the radio.. Apparently a 
lightning surge came down close enough to be picked-up by the mast top 
antenna and it blew the stereo receiver.. The VHF was not on so there was 
no other damage. 

It was a cheap unit that I was considering replacing anyway but now I'm 
also looking at antennas that go in the hull somewhere in hopes that it is 
less likely to capture a wandering lightning surge (Fairly common here in 
the southeast).  This way my next receiver might not be as likely to get 
hit.. 

Here's what I'm looking at

On lake Lanier we're close to the the stations we like anyway so pretty 
much any decent antenna should do the trick
