Default Stereo powers on, but get only thumping sound

2007 Maxum 2000 RC3. The stereo turns on. I can put CD's in it and change the channel but the only sound I get is an electronic thump thump thump that keeps going until I turn the unit off. The volume intensity has no impact on the sound of the thumps.

I've removed and reseated the face plate several times and it is seated firmly.
It would be nice to have music on the water, but it is not a show stopper..
I would rather spend the $$ on new water toys than to buy a new sound system.

It did this all last year. Never could get it to work.
Any idea's what else I should check?

Does it have an external amplifier? Because it almost sounds like the head unit is sending a power on signal to the amp and the amp is cycling.

Either way, seems that you'll be replacing either the receiver/head unit or the amplifier. If it does not have an am look for a unit made by the same company as the existing unit. That way it's much more likely that the swap and wiring will a straight forward plug-n-play deal. A replacement should't be all that expensive, certainly far less than B.O.A.T.

Buckeye, I just went thru this. The amp was wired hot to the ignition so it was always on. Everytime I put the faceplate on it made the loud thump. Like Dan said it'd the faceplate telling the amp it's on. I lived with it until it no longer took cds and the display on the radio was like this :#@*@$@&*$@*@ and made no sense. Brought it to the dealer and they fixed the wiring and said the radio was fryed. Lucky for me they replaced it. Good luck and update what happens.
