GME GR350BTW Super Compact Bluetooth AM/FM Marine Stereo White 4x40W 2.7 Inch TFT LCD IPX5 Gauge Hole Installation
The GME GR350BTW is GME's most compact Bluetooth AM/FM marine entertainment stereo in white. Sized to fit standard gauge holes for quick retrofit installation without additional panel cutting. Bluetooth audio streaming, built-in AM/FM tuner, USB and AUX inputs, 4x40W speaker outputs, and a 2.7 inch full colour backlit TFT LCD display. IPX5 rated for water spray and splash protection in the marine environment. Black version available as GR350BTB.
Product overview
Many older vessels have round gauge holes in the helm panel left empty after analogue speedometers, tachometers, or depth sounder gauges are removed during upgrades to digital display systems. The GR350BTW is sized specifically to fit these standard gauge holes, allowing installation in existing openings without cutting new panels or modifying the helm layout. This makes it a practical and low-disruption retrofit for vessels where a full-size marine stereo cannot be accommodated or where a clean installation is preferred.
Bluetooth audio streaming pairs wirelessly with smartphones and tablets for music playback anywhere on the vessel. The built-in AM/FM tuner, USB input, and AUX input cover all standard audio sources. Four 40W speaker outputs provide stereo sound across the vessel's speaker system. The 2.7 inch TFT LCD display with backlight remains readable in direct sunlight. IPX5 protection covers water jets and spray from any direction, appropriate for protected helm positions on recreational vessels. For installation positions with heavy water exposure or potential flooding, confirm suitability of IPX5 with the vessel's layout.

Frequently asked questions
What is the gauge hole installation and why is it useful? Many older vessels have round holes in the helm panel left vacant after analogue gauges are removed during digital display upgrades. The GR350BTW is sized to fit these standard gauge holes, allowing it to be installed cleanly in existing openings without additional panel cutting or helm modification. This makes it a low-disruption retrofit for vessels where the gauge hole is available.
What does IPX5 mean for a marine stereo? IPX5 means the unit is protected against water jets from any direction, covering spray, splash, rain, and wave action at the helm. It is appropriate for protected helm positions on recreational vessels. IPX5 is not a submersion rating. For helm positions with heavy water exposure or potential flooding, confirm suitability for the specific installation location.
What Bluetooth devices can the GR350BTW pair with? The GR350BTW pairs with any Bluetooth-enabled smartphone or tablet using the standard A2DP Bluetooth audio streaming profile, covering the large majority of modern iOS and Android devices. Contact us if compatibility with a specific older device needs to be confirmed.
What inputs and outputs does this stereo provide? Audio inputs cover Bluetooth streaming, built-in AM/FM tuner, USB drive input, and a 3.5mm AUX input. Audio outputs are 4x40W speaker outputs for connection to external marine speakers. Contact us to confirm speaker impedance requirements before purchasing.
Is there a black version of this stereo? Yes. The GR350BTB is the black version with the same specifications. Select white or black based on the vessel's helm panel colour and aesthetic preference.
