[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]Seasense by Unified Marine [/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]The company Unified Marine has their brand of products called SeaSense. Looking at some of their products and now their Limited Lifetime Warranty maybe they should change the name to CommonSense. [/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]We took a quick look at some of their newer products. We're borrowing some of the catalog copy they provided, with some judicious editing. Take a look at these great products that were developed by boaters who understand what we all run in to on the water. We're highlighting these for the newsletter but we do carry a full line of the SeaSense marine products. [/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]SECURESTACK [/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]Our government (EPA) has been hard at work developing more fuel tank regulations for our safety. We'll have more on that in additional articles this season. [/FONT]


[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]Newly improved and 2011 C.A.R.B. (California Air Resource Board) compliant, SeaSense's SECURESTACK Fuel Tank is a compact six-gallon, stackable fuel tank with dual handles for ease of use. It features a durable, high-density polyethylene shell, improved pick-up tube fitting and is U.S.C.G./ABYC approved. Its patented design with deep 1-1/2-inch wide, molded grooves eliminates shifting while in motion and allows for a secure tie down. [/FONT]


[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]A neat idea in the stackable design now allows two tanks to function as one by using the available universal 3/8-inch, low-permeation (another CARB thing), dual fuel line assembly. You go farther without having to stop to switch out tanks, fuel lines and possibly spill some gas on your deck. [/FONT]


[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]SECURESTACK is made in the U.S.A and comes with a limited lifetime warranty. [/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]LED lighting helps you launch [/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]We've all had adventures at the launch ramp with our boat or friend's boats. And it's always much easier to have help launching but that's not always available. To help the lone launcher, SeaSense has a LED lighted warning system that tells you when your boat is in far enough for it to float. [/FONT]


[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]The LOADMATE features an adjustable float switch that allows boaters to set the proper launch/load depth for their trailer. Highly visible LED light arrangements switch from red to green when at the proper depth, signaling when it is safe. [/FONT]


[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]SeaSense has been a leader in bringing LED technology to boating and trailering. LED's draw less power and provide excellent lighting for inside the boat, navigation lights and all the lighting on your trailer. Although we don't carry their line of LED's for home, yard, office or automotive, you can find their products for those places too. [/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]TRAILERSENSE Trailer Tongue Jacks [/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]If I can kind of lift the trailer tongue a few inches when it's on the trailer ball of my vehicle, I figure it's the right tongue weight. That's not really doing it exactly right and we all know proper trailer tongue weight is important for a safe, stable drive down the road. "Do you know how to correctly measure your tongue weight" asked the boating guys at SeaSense when they were standing out in their parking lot surrounded by boats on trailers. Then they looked at each other and started looking around for a good scale to start measuring trailer tongue weight. Then one of them had an exciting idea. [/FONT]


[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]SeaSense came up with the only affordable devices on the market that instantly tell boaters when their trailer is safely loaded and in its most fuel-efficient posture for travel.The TRAILERSENSE tongue-weight combo jack is that device. [/FONT]


[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]Knowing your proper tongue weight allows for better braking, more responsive handling and an overall safer trailering experience. This exclusive, patent-pending design features a comfortable handle and is safe and simple to operate. [/FONT]


[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]The 800-pound tongue-weight combo jack measures tongue weight up to 800 pounds (it's good they named it the "800 pound jack" isn't it?) and features a heavy-duty, locking spoke-wheel assembly and black EDC corrosion-resistant finish. The 1500-pound tongue-weight combo jack measures tongue weight up to 1500 pounds (another good name) and features a 4-inch-by-8-inch, all-terrain, locking Mighty Wheel assembly and Seacoat corrosion-resistant finish.

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]Lifetime Guarantee Seams on Taylor Made Covers & Biminis [/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]Taylor Made Products, a leading supplier of boat fenders, covers and other aftermarket accessories for the boating industry, announced earlier this year that it is now offering its boat covers and bimini tops with seams sewn with high-strength, durable TENARA thread under an authorized manufacturing agreement with W.L. Gore & Associates, maker of the famous GORE-TEX brand. The GORE TENARA Sewing Thread, which uses a patented expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePFTE) fiber technology, provides unprecedented strength and resistance to saltwater and sun exposure. [/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif][/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]"The average boat cover contains 50,000 stitches, and the strength of any fabric is only as good as its weakest stitch," said David Karpinski, vice president of Taylor Made Products. "Seams are traditionally the number one failure point on boat fabrics, and if even one stitch fails, the integrity of the entire product is compromised. With TENARA, we are so confident in the strength and durability of the Gore thread that we are guaranteeing the seams for the lifetime of the fabric. If the seams fail before the fabric does, we'll repair it for free." [/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif][/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]"TENARA is a long-lasting thread that enhances the life of the outdoor and marine fabrics in which it is used," said Robert Mabon, Product Specialist of W.L. Gore & Associates. "Ordinary polyester or cotton thread breaks down over time due to exposure to UV sunlight, cleaning agents, saltwater, extreme temperatures and weather conditions. GORE TENARA is not affected by any of these agents, and will outlast the life of the fabric into which it is sewn. It also has excellent color-fast qualities and will not fade or discolor even after long exposure to sunlight." [/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]Solas Aluminum Props[/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif][/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]It seems that every car on the road, old or new has a spare tire as standard equipment. Many of us never use our spare tire, but we would find it strange not have one available at all times. Having that spare available creates piece of mind, and wouldn't we feel funny telling people that we got stranded on the side of the road because we did not have spare available? [/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]Why do so many of us take to the water without a spare propeller on our boat? There is far less help available on the water and a far less likely chance of another boat passing by in a timely manner, but more of us don't have a spare prop available than those of us who do! Why? [/FONT]


[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]For a very reasonable price, we can purchase an aluminum spare propeller on iboats.com. This spare prop will not only give us the peace of mind that comes with having a "plan B", but it could also mean having the option of continuing to enjoy our well deserved day on the water. This "plan B" could be useful in a number of unfortunate circumstances which could include a spun hub or damaging our primary prop through contact with a submerged object. One other more attractive reason for having a spare propeller aboard our boat is this; [/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif][/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]Let's say that we have a 19 pitch propeller that works great when we have a small group aboard our boat and little weight in the boat, but when we have several more people on board the boat does not perform as well. Or, if we are trying to participate in water sports the boat is sluggish to get onto plane. A great option would be to have a spare prop that was a lesser pitch (such as a 17 pitch) that would perform well under those circumstances. Now our spare prop is more than a peace of mind, it a functional part of our boating activities. [/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]Please contact one of iboats.com prop specialist to confirm what will be the most functional secondary propeller to keep aboard your boat. [/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]Solas was founded in 1985 by Dr. Solas Lin. Solas is now one of the most well known and trusted names in outboard/stern drive propellers. Their success is largely due to their commitment to superior design and craftsmanship. Solas combines world class research and design, highly skilled workers, cost-effective material sourcing, and a technologically advanced manufacturing facility to deliver the highest quality propellers to their customers.[/FONT]
