OK, finally figured out the radio power wiring. Now, the two speakers are "hissing." I took one out and the coil is rusted. This boat was swamped during Hurricane Matthew. It didn't sink, but was full of water and the speakers were covered in water.

The back of the speakers claim that they are "waterproof." Can these speakers be "fixed?" If not, what is a reasonably priced replacement? This boat is only in the water when we use it during the day, and maybe an overnight when we use the transient slips at our marina where we live.

thx

They say water proof, but IMO there just rain/splash proof. Found a used set on ebay for 29.00 and new for twice that. I would just replace them with any that will fit
