1ST MATE IS READY TO ASSIST IN OVERBOARD SITUATIONS

1st Mate Security System

Wouldn’t you feel better knowing that your boat had a system to monitor and help in the event that anyone falls overboard?

Mercury Marine has introduced their new 1st Mate Safety and Security System. This has an intelligent hub, a set of wearable products and a mobile device app that integrate with your boat’s propulsion systems to provide potentially lifesaving safety features and to help secure property. Its three main features are: 1) a boater-overboard monitoring and alert system, 2) distress-messaging capability, and 3) deterrence against theft of the boat and/or its engine(s).

The 1st Mate mobile app is available now and works with either Mercury SmartCraft-capable engines, or many other engine brands. Visit your Mercury dealer for information, or visit: www.1stmate.com
Canadian MSRP starts at Single Engine – $811.45, Dual Engine – $912.87 and up to as many as 6 engine installations. Passenger fobs are available for $182.55

Beverage Container Does the Job and Gives Something Back

Beverage Container Does the Job and Gives Something Back

Inspired in 2008 on a beach in Hawaii by many beverage containers that were not doing a good job of keeping fluids cold on a hot day, Travis Rosbach began the process that lead to the creation of the first Hydro Flask, incorporating principles of vacuum insulation, safety (BPA-free), food grade stainless steel, a range of durable colours and a charitable arm called FivePercentBack.org.

A Hydro Flask is a reusable water bottle that truly performs in any environment.  It keeps hot liquids hot and cold liquids cold.   Keeps your cold liquids cold for 24 hours, and your hot liquids hot for 12 hours.  Made from food grade 18/8 Stainless Steel, Hydro Flask stainless steel water bottles are safe and 100% BPA-free. 18/8 stainless steel is remarkably light, yet extremely durable.
