Leading marine power generation manufacturer Northern Lights has introduced the Tough Series Control Panel (TSC) to provide truly intuitive control to Northern Lights generator set functions.

Featuring a back-lit LCD display screen and large, easy-to-read push buttons, TSC is versatile enough to permit remote monitoring and control connection through a single data and power cable, up to 30 meters in length. Available RS485 and J1939 protocols can be connected to a remote monitoring system.

The TSC is factory programmed with voltage and current monitoring for single and three-phase applications. Pressure and temperature warnings and shutdowns are standard to help protect generator sets. Warnings and shutdowns for frequency and voltage protect electrical equipment. Sound enclosure mounting is available for a quiet and streamlined engine room.

“The state of the art in power generation deserves a control panel that is its equal in terms of quality and performance,” said Northern Lights, Inc. Vice President and General Manager Brian Vesely. “TSC provides the depth of information that boatbuilders and captains require. Our experienced engineers will factory-customize the level of control that is appropriate for our clientele,” he added.

The Tough Series Controller is available on a wide range of Northern Lights generator sets, both marine and land-based. The Northern Lights family of marine generator sets includes products from 5-545kW. Northern Lights Commercial series generator sets include products from 20-150kW.

Softlines Mooring Lines

Spring commissioning is a great time to take a close look at mooring lines – is an upgrade or replacement in order? After handling mooring lines all last summer, we quickly became fans of softer polypropylene ropes, especially those from Softlines. These are the ultimate in softness in the hand and are super flexible, even in the cold. Like all poly lines, they float and so are less of a danger of fouling props or running gear. We also like how Softlines provide eye-splices through strongly stitched nylon webbing. Tests show the line will fail before the web attachments do.

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.
