Make sure your kit has ALL the parts
Rating: 2/5 2007-10-04
The kit itself SHOULD come with 5 major parts: the antenna, the splash proof housing, the fm modulator, the mounting bracket AND THE SINGLE LEAD SKIFI CRADLE. I have found that many dealers selling this kit (at a discount) are selling kits that don't include the CRADLE and they don't even know it. IF your going to buy this kit, make sure it comes with the CRADLE!!!
Best bet for larger boats

Kit was easy to install. Especially liked the white antenna (looks like the old Loran antennas) which came complete with a white ratchet-mount. I hard-wired the power supply rather than plug it into a cigarette lighter. Use it on my flybridge to play through my FM radio. BONUS!...Because my TV/radio antenna is up there, it picks-up the FM signal and plays XM throughout the boat on my saloon entertainment system. Cool! No need for multiple XM accounts.

You're already set up for XM Satellite Radio listening in the home or car--now you can enjoy your Delphi XM SKYFi or SKYFi2 XM radio receiver while you're boating, too. The SKYFi marine kit includes a UV-treated cradle cover that maintains display readability while protecting your SKYFi or SKYFi2 receiver. The kit also includes a wireless FM audio adapter/transmitter, a marine antenna for high-gain reception, and an easy-to-use mounting bracket so you can customize the angle from which you view your receiver. (SKYFi and/or SKYFi2 receiver sold separately.)

The XM SKYFi high-gain marine antenna pulls in a stable XM signal while you're out on the water.
