CY & BIC Bonus Read!
Just when you think that you don't need anything else for your boat, BEN brings you another reason to hit your local chandlery.
I'm particularly intrigued by the no-drill toilet paper holder designed to keep your TP roll in place. I'm pretty sure that I know where this brilliant idea came to fruition. Then, the external fluid level sensor that can be installed and configured in 15 minutes sounds amazing! So many boaters have trouble with internal needles jumping and sticking so I am convinced to check this out further.
The February issue shares a few new tech devices and other great boating equipment for making life easier onboard. Check out the icemaker and Govino Wine Glasses. Or maybe you would like to take the lead and prepare to be one of the first to purchase Mercury's new Avatar 7.5e, electric outboard motor. Don't think about it, just do it!
Enjoy your Boating Equipment News for February 2023.

Gear: Bluetooth Device Addresses Marine Tank Sensor Problems
|
|
Internal mechanical marine tank sensors are plagued with problems that cause inaccurate readings. Jostling fluid will move the float—even in containers with baffles—and over time, arms and pivot points tend to get sticky. Capacitive sensors can likewise fail once they accumulate calcium, magnesium, phosphorus alloys and other chemicals. The wireless Gobius Pro from Albin Group Marine overcomes these issues. Ideal for refit or OEM use, the...

Getting connected for safety first
|
|
The December issue of Canadian Yachting once again featured the magazine’s Annual Marine Electronics Special compiled by Andy Adams. While the feature is packed with a wide variety of brilliant electronic gear, Andy also took time to laud the VHF, the one piece of equipment virtually all of us have onboard. For obvious safety reasons, we need to start with the VHF radio because that’s the best way to connect to help in an emergency.

Gear: Quick Release Drink Holders Install Where Others Won't

Plentiful drink holders have become expected amenities on today's boats but can be tricky to retrofit to older models, especially if the owner is uncomfortable taking a hole saw to their vessel or unsure of the precise location of hidden wiring and plumbing lines. Quick Release Drink Holders from Accon Marine utilize a simple surface mount that eliminates cut-outs altogether, allowing quick and easy installation nearly anywhere on board.
