I love music, but on a sailboat I prefer the sounds around me. So my latest 
project is sourcing the two original sleeves and covers for the holes in the 
cockpit behind the wheel, where there are currently two speakers. The PO 
installed the speakers with some kind of builders adhesive which has 
permanently sealed the speakers, and the stereo in the cabin, to whatever it’s 
attached to. I learned the hard way with a box cutter trying to take the 
adhesive off the stereo casing that holds it in place by promptly cutting my 
finger open. It’s solid as a rock. In the case with the rear cockpit speakers, 
the sleeves that previously allowed the two plastic covers to screw and lock 
into place are married to the speakers. This isn’t exactly a stereo I can 
re-sell on craigslist so I might have to 86 the whole stereo. Not a loss. In 
any case, does anyone know where I can find a set of the original sleeves and 
covers for the holes, other than eBay?
