I was about to order one but the weatherproof comment got me thinking. Seems it would be weatherproof if for a golf cart. I might need it to be it my situation, are you sure it is not? Is it shorter than a marine radio?

this radio is just a car radio but if you think that is really going to get a lot of rain or snow on it i don't think it would hold up

as far as i remember the only difference between a marine radio and a auto
radio is that they put a coating on the board so that is is more shock resistance


google this at clarion it has all the specs.
Clarion FZ150 USB-SD-MP3 Digital

Dimensions (W × H × D) (Inches) 7-1/8 (W) × 2 (H) × 3-1/4 (D)

You could also do what I did:

Instead of a radio I just use an amplifier that's hidden out of the weather that's connected to one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/VicTsing-Portable-Bluetooth-Streaming-Receiver/dp/B00GX71HLA/ref=sr_1_53?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1391639531&sr=1-53&keywords=bluetooth+adapter http://www.amazon.com/VicTsing-Portable-Bluetooth-Streaming-Receiver/dp/B00GX71HLA/ref=sr_1_53?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1391639531&sr=1-53&keywords=bluetooth+adapter

I power the little bluetooth gadget from a cigarette lighter plug to USB charging adapter for in-car cell-phone charging, hidden out of the weather.

A 10k logarithmic
potentiometer potentiometer
mounted in the dash is used for volume control.

This way I can stream Pandora, Itunes, MP3s and Itunes Radio wireless from my smartphone to the amplifier in the golf cart and I don't need an old "steam" radio.
Everything except the dash volume knob and power switch for the amps is hidden.

Nice pix, thanx for sharing. Now a tip: Get rid of the wire nuts. They won't survive the vibrations of a moving vehicle. They WILL lead to problems.
