Before I attempt to cover Apollo’s major features, let me note
how our Sea Ray demo boat speaks to Fusion’s claim of being “in-
dustry recognized,” as well as to the wide variety of boats Apollo
can serve. Sea Ray has announced their commitment to standard-
fitting complete Fusion audio systems in all 40 of their current
models, which range from 17-foot open sport boats to 65-foot mo-

Our Sea Ray demo boat illustrated how beautifully the flagship
Apollo RA-770 audio head unit can be flush-mounted on a mod-
ern-style helm. Even in prototype form, the unit nearly blended
into the panel, and as the finished SDX290 will be glossy black, the
Apollo unit will almost look like an integral part of a long, black
glass slab.

APOLLO INTERFACES
The Apollo RA-770 display can emulate normal stereo button
controls like “pause,” “next track,” and “menu.” A slick multi-touch
feature called “Gesture Mode” allows the controls to disappear af-
ter about a minute of inactivity, allowing just the track info and as-
sociated graphic to fill the 4.3-inch screen. In this “standby” mode,
you can tap anywhere on the screen for pause/mute or swipe ei-

as Fusion found 9 out of 10 boaters prefer a volume knob. Below: The
