Unimer U-Cleat Mooring Compensator

MooringCompensator

October 1, 2020

High quality mooring compensators are essential in line maintenance. They absorb tension and relieve lines and deck fittings from sudden tugs caused by wind or surf.

Unimer makes compensators of a high quality EPDM rubber, providing excellent strength and weather and salt water resistance.

The U-Cleat Mooring Compensator features a unique removable locking mechanism that allows for fitting without a free end of the line. This gives you plenty of options over a conventional compensator. 

The U-Cleat can easily be repositioned after fitting, transferred to another line, or fitted to a line with eye splices or thimbles on both ends. When it’s time to wash your lines, the U-Cleat is easy to remove and refit.

The innovative U-Cleat lock between line and compensator is designed to give optimal locking effect and prevent line slipping, without affecting the strength or durability of the line. 

The U-Cleat Mooring Compensator is design protected and made in Sweden of a high quality EPDM rubber with glass fibre reinforced polyamide inserts moulded together with the rubber. The cleats are produced in glass fibre reinforced polypropylene.

Bennett SLT Trim Tabs

Bennett, a well-regarded manufacturer of hydraulic trim tabs, has recently introduced “passive” trim tabs that do not need power. These are available in six-inch width for boats 10 to 14’, and in 10-inch width for boats 14 to 20’. Using only unpowered hydraulic actuators of Bennett’s own design, these tabs will provide bow-down control at speed, at prices below $200, much less than their powered siblings.

Electro-Scan Waste Treatment System

Electro-Scan Waste Treatment System

With increasingly stringent waste discharge legislation in both Canadian and US waters, boaters looking for waste removal solutions have at least a couple of options. Holding tanks are the obvious first-level fix but, of course, these need a pump-out station and there are not many of those on this coast.

Raritan has another option for vessels up to 65’ in length.

Shurhold Bucket Base Keeps Bucket Right Where You Put It

A five-gallon pail is used for a variety of reasons, including fishing, diving, carrying tools or cleaning. But, this common item can create issues when it slides all over the deck, creating a hazard or damage to delicate surfaces. Shurhold Industries' new Bucket Base is a sturdy ring designed to minimize bucket sliding and toppling, helping prevent the creation of new scratches across the deck.
