New to forum. I have an 08 H220. I have the stock Sony radio/cd/sat stereo. Can anyone give me advise on how to run power to stereo without have to leave the key on in the "on" position. I would like to use on of the spare acc. Buttons on dash to run power to stereo when boat is not running.

Turn the key to the left. Thats works for me on my 242

Welcome.

Blue dragon is correct. Turning the key to the left is the "accessory" position. Is there a particular reason you don't want to do that?

By the way, does your screen name stand for Mason Ohio?

It works on my 08 220 also I make sure to only leave the radio running on one battery while on the sandbar just in case.
