    '16 chaparral vrx side radio unit

    Hi I just launched the boat today and after trying to dock the boat I realized the radio unit, on the port side, would not turn off. I tried turning the boat off and it is still lit. Does anyone know if it's not supposed to turn off? Or would I be better off unplugging the battery?
