BT Controller provides ready command of Bluetooth devices

Prospec Electronics BT Controller

July 22, 2021

A Bluetooth-enabled phone or tablet is ideal for streaming music, but it’s often stowed safely away when on the water, road or trail. For ready access to the device’s controls when on a boat, golf car, motorcycle or UTV, it’s hard to beat the award-winning Infinity by Harman INF-BC4 Pre-Amp Bluetooth Controller from Prospec Electronics. It gives ready command to playback functions and has a compact footprint for use on virtually any dash.

The INF-BC4 Pre-Amp Bluetooth Controller is built for the outdoors. Waterproof to IPX6 standards, it has a central rotary encoder and large buttons for use with gloves and in rough, jarring conditions.

Using the INF-BC4 is easy and intuitive. Once it’s paired to the Bluetooth-enabled device, power and volume are operated with the rotary encoder. The three rubberized buttons provide control over play/pause, previous and next tracks.

Installation of the INF-BC4 is straightforward. It requires a small 1-3/8″ cutout hole. Flush mounted with no visible hardware, the panel is only 2-1/4″ L x 2-1/4″ W. The integrated 18″ wiring harness is equipped with output jacks, allowing connection to a required amplifier. In the U.S. the Infinity by Harman INF-BC4 Pre-Amp Bluetooth Controller from Prospec Electronics costs $119.95 USD.

Marine Binoculars: I See, Therefore I Am (Safe)

Galileo made his first telescope in 1609, modelled after telescopes produced in other parts of Europe (primarily Holland) that could magnify objects three times. Later that same year, Galileo created a telescope that could magnify objects twenty times. He did very well after that. Fast forward to 2015 and I am on the hunt for a second pair of binoculars for our boat, as we plan an extended cruise next fall. I say a second pair, because – it seems – Mary’s and my eyes are not aging in the same manner and at the same rate. So when either of us picks up the shared binoculars, we have to re-adjust them for our own use. I read recently that the way to avoid having your binoculars out of focus is to have your own.

ICOM “New Look” Marine Electronics

Though ICOM has been a well-regarded manufacturer of marine electronics for many years, they were a bit late to the market with fully integrated products. Not any longer! ICOM recently announced a “new look” family of marine electronics that meets the competitive offerings and goes a step further. We were first impressed with the new M92D hand-held marine VHF radio. It now has a fully functioning GPS receiver built in and continuously shows the current Lat/Long in the screen to the left of the radio channel setting.

Jeanneau Yachts 55

Throw away the box, this is some fresh thinking

Seemingly part sailboat and part spaceship, the new Jeanneau Yachts 55 just busted through the boundaries of traditional yacht design. I couldn’t take my eyes off the bubble hardtop that met me at the dock and I stepped aboard with trepidation. A few hours later, I was planning how to spend my not-yet-won lottery winnings.

Paving the Way to Cleaner Boating – How a Commitment to Reducing our Environmental Impact is Inspiring Cleaner Boating in Ontario

By Dave Rozycki

Over the past seven decades, Ontario’s marina industry has developed alongside some of Canada’s largest freshwater lakes. Boaters have been able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and create lasting memories on the water, with certain marinas dating back to the 1960s. As we reflect on this rich history, we can begin to see trends in how our footprint may have had an effect on the environment, in not-so-positive ways. However, by embracing innovative solutions and adopting sustainable practices, both marinas and boaters hold the key to preserving and enhancing the quality of our lakes and marine life for generations to come.
