CY & BIC Bonus Read!
Well, September is here. Isn't it a beautiful time of year for boating? The changing colours and cooler nights make time on the water so enjoyable. While the most daring are still enjoying a morning swim, the majority of Canadian boaters are looking to messing about, maybe a few upgrades and year-end maintenance, mixed with relaxing, and perhaps a few good reads. We hope that this edition of BEN is your fall boating inspiration. Enjoy.

|
|

When you don’t need them, and I didn’t, they fold into the floor nicely...

Clean fire extinguishing agents superior to aerosol solutions
|

Aerosol fire extinguishing systems are particle-based. They rapidly deplete oxygen in the area to unsafe levels and are known to be highly corrosive to metals and electronics. These disadvantages contrast sharply with the benefits offered by a Sea-Fire Marine engineered or pre-engineered solution using clean extinguishing agent 3M™ Novec™ 1230, generically FK-5112, the safe and effective suppression solution. Aerosol fire extinguishing systems rely on a pyrotechnic reaction for...
