ElectroStrainer provides yacht owners with peace of mind, letting them know that their strainer basket and seawater pipes remain free of marine growth, with optimal flow rates so the A/C blows cold and they’ll never have to descale again.

Walking up and down the docks, I keep seeing that owners are having their boats outfitted with a few things they feel are must-haves to compete and keep their rigs running smoothly. First is the Furuno omnidirectional sonar. This machine is a real difference-maker when it comes to finding, targeting and catching fish. If you don’t have one, then it’s hard to bet against the guys that do—especially the captains who know how to use them! There is nothing automatic about these units. It takes time to learn to operate this machine, but once you get dialed in look out! The cost for one of these units is around $125,000 depending on the specific installation requirements.
FORT MYERS, Fla. (August 1, 2022) – Seakeeper, the leader in marine motion control, launched its newest product, Seakeeper Ride, marking the company’s first product deviation from its line of gyrostabilizers.
Its introduction established a new underway stabilization category, a Vessel Attitude Control System (VACS). VACS derives from the Attitude Control Systems (ACS) used in aerospace crafts to control pitch, roll and yaw underway.
We caught up with Parker Hannifin at the 2021 Ft. Lauderdale Boat Show to talk about the H2O Eco and how it takes water purification to a new level for boaters. The ECO features a compact machine completely enclosed in an aluminum frame, and offers potable water safe for drinking and cooking.

(NASDAQ:GRMN), the world’s largest and most innovative marine electronics manufacturer, today announced the Garmin Surround View Camera System, a breakthrough in video guidance for recreational boating and yachting.

Modern sportfish yachts have so many high-tech systems on board that it’s truly mindboggling, and keeping them up and running is imperative. We have systems for everything including ice makers, watermakers, refrigeration, satellite communication, night vision, radar and fuel cleansers. There are advanced electronics with crystal clear multi-touch displays and black box communications that transfer signals and data throughout the entire boat, underwater lights of all colors, along with stabilizers and sonars. Today’s boats literally have every gadget imaginable, from hydraulic outriggers to bidets!
