Its driving me crazy!!! How the heck does the radio in a 1989 Santego come out? The tape deck is toast and I would like to remove the whole unit but I'm stumped on how it comes out. Its the 30 foot model. Any ideas?
 
The boats at the marina but if I remember, I think it is a Maxima radio. It looks like a bookshelf unit with a radio on the left and a separate tape deck on the right. It is mounted almost flush above the sofa beside my electrical panel. When I pull the panel down I can reach the back of the unit but I can't feel how it is mounted. Besides, I can only reach the tape deck side. The radio and the deck are about 4" X 8" each. I think it sits in a sleeve but I can't tell. It seems to me that I may have to take the small counter top directly above it off but that would mean perhaps removing the teak rail on the outside of the counter off. The screws that hold this rail are recessed with plugs glued in capping the screws... A lot of fuss in my mind! As I said, it is a 1989 Santego, 30 foot. If you pull up the brochure for 1989 on the carver web site, there is a picture of the interior that shows it. Unfortunately, I live in an area where high speed is unavailable and I connect at a blistering dial up speed of 19.1 K so other than emails and such, everything takes time and pictures are hard to send.
 
Dan,

Go to a local car stereo store with the info. You will need a sliding hook of some kind to release the unit from the sleeve, if it's that kind of model.
