ElectroStrainer
The newly launched ElectroStrainer from ElectroSea is made to prevent marine growth from its strainer basket and through all seawater lines. 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.
Two-Minute Warning: Gotta Have It

By Capt. Scott “Fraz” Murie
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.
Ceramic Coating: Is It Time to Stop Waxing?
By Capt. Dale Wills
Wouldn’t it be great if you never had to wax your boat ever again?! Sounds too good to be true? As the early adopters of ceramic coating technology are finding out, it is kinda too good to be true. If something is kinda too good to be true, that also means that it is kind of true. When it comes to ceramic coatings, the “kinda” aspects relate to a universal truism: no matter what you apply to your boat, you still need to wash and maintain it.
The Seakeeper 2 Wins 2019 Edison Award in Transportation Technology Category
Seakeeper 2 Earns Gold Designation in Transportation Technology Category
CALIFORNIA, Md. (April 5, 2019) – Seakeeper, Inc., the leader in marine stabilization, received an Edison Award at last night’s Awards Gala for the Seakeeper 2.
The Edison Awards honor excellence in new product and service development, marketing, human-centered design and innovation. The Seakeeper 2 was chosen as a finalist in the Transportation Technology category earlier in the year and last night received a gold award, the highest available. Products were judged on their concept, value, delivery and impact and finalists were chosen by a steering committee and small group of industry experts where necessary. The finalists were then submitted to a panel of more than 3,000 judges comprised of senior business executives and academics who then cast ballots for gold, silver and bronze winners.
“We’ve been relentless at working to change a fundamental human experience by making boating more accessible and enjoyable for everyone, and the introduction of our smallest product, the Seakeeper 2, is a huge step in realizing that mission,” said Seakeeper President & CEO Andrew Semprevivo. “We’ve been pushing ourselves every day for 11 years to bring our best innovations to market, and we’re honored to be recognized as a leader and proud to stand next to the other incredible Edison Awards winners this year.”
The award was presented at the Edison Awards’ annual black-tie event at the New York Academy of Sciences in New York, NY. Events earlier in the day included a Meet the Innovators Forum and an Innovators’ Showcase where participating companies had the opportunity to connect with other finalists and innovators and share their product.
