I am extremely satisfied, says Barney,  with the quality of PYS’ work and their after-sale support. I know I can call PYS whenever I have problems with my boat, and that's a good feeling.

Q: I have an MS IP600 Fusion stereo on my boat and it gets the iPod so hot it's hard to handle. It also messes up the iPod so I have to constantly reformat it. Have you heard of this and is there a solution?
