NEW AM/FM CD RECEIVER TAKES MUSIC TO THE WATER

Whether listening to a soothing symphony on a houseboat or boogying down with buddies on a party barge, only the best sound system will do.  Designed specifically for marine use, Prospec Electronics' new JBL MR140 AM/FM/CD Receiver delivers the fidelity and the decibels.

The 4-channel x 45 watt stereo and AM/FM receiver is equipped with an auxiliary input for plugging in an iPod, MP3 player, satellite radio or DVD, and is wired remote ready.  All JBL CD players have built-in ESP, Electronic Shock Protection.  By temporarily spinning a disc faster than normal, it stores the music ahead of time, virtually eliminating skipping on choppy water.

NEW FLOODLIGHT TAKES A BEATING AND KEEPS ON BEAMING
When seas are rough and it's pitch black, maximum illumination is needed for on-deck safety.  Hella marine reliably lights up a deck under the worst conditions with its new 7118 Series Structured Lens Deck Floodlight.
The attractive and powerful halogen floodlight features a modern crystal clear lens with a large, 5-1/3" L x 3" W aperture.  Pre-wired, the floodlight is connected to the unit through a sealed cable entry via threaded gland with nut.  Available in black or white.

HANGING FENDERS HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER

Although essential to protect a craft's pristine condition, fenders can be difficult to fasten to the side of a boat.  Using the convenient, new 401-R Fender Hangers from Accon Marine, owners simply attach the fender to a loop which snaps into a fixed base.  An innovative quick release allows the loop to remain attached to the fender line when separated.  By eliminating the need for repetitive tying and untying, these hangers provide effortless placement and removal of fenders.

NEW FISH ON! ROD HOLDER ANSWERS THE CRY OF ANGLERS

The popular Fish-On! Rod Holder from Tempress Products has been used and loved by fishermen for over 30 years.  Introducing a new twist on the old favorite, Tempress incorporated many new features, based on angler feedback, into the design of their new  72026 Rod Holder.

The unique double reel seat allows for quick rod retrieval when light tackle angling, yet it is also able to accommodate larger rod/reel combos.  Simply removing the rod creates a hook-setting motion.  Extremely versatile, it adjusts 360° horizontally and from vertical to -10° for the perfect fishing position every time.

WHALE TAIL BOOSTS PERFORMANCE

A stabilizer can improve the performance of an I/O or outboard motor.  Using a unique hydrodynamic design, the Whale Tail XL from Davis Instruments extends behind the propeller to utilize prop energy and transform it into lift.

Potentially boosting top speed and raising fuel savings, the Whale Tail XL also increases safety.  It stabilizes bow-light boats and prevents bow rise to improve visibility. Practical as well as safe and economical, the Whale Tail XL pops skiers up in less time and flattens the wake.

ANGLERS DEPEND ON COMPACT AND RELIABLE BOX ANCHOR

When perfectly positioned to land a prize catch, anglers need a dependable anchor.  That's why they trust Slide Anchor's Box Anchor to hold tight in any water depth, bottom conditions or severe weather.

With no chain and weighing only 13 lbs., the Box Anchor won't load down small boats, so anglers can quickly get to the fish.  Using only half the usual anchor line, the Box Anchor's fixed scoop design and narrow side panels quickly set it like a cookie cutter in sand, mud, grass or rock. Its narrow side panels also eliminate upward resistance for easy retrieval.  Should wind or current change, the Box Anchor rolls over and resets in seconds. The Box Anchor collapses flat for compact storage.

MAGMA’S NEW GRILL REALLY HEATS THINGS UP

While conventional wisdom used to hold that grilling and boating didn’t mix, Magma Products’ innovative line of grills and accessories has changed old ways of thinking.  Boaters are now more apt than not to have a grill onboard, and Magma’s new Marine Kettle Gas Grill A10-105 has several significant design changes for easier onboard grilling.

Magma’s new model uses a stainless steel radiant plate to quickly and efficiently distribute heat more evenly throughout the grilling surface. A new, swiveling Turbo Venturi and control valve design is virtually windproof to prevent blow-outs.  The fuel canister, venturi tube and valve are adjustable, allowing them to be positioned where it is most convenient and an attached lid helps block gusty winds.
