TELESCOPING HANDLE

MPS Products Inc. offers the Perfect Pole telescoping handle. Dock attendants and marina maintenance crews will find the Perfect Pole telescoping handle equipped with the Swobbit System boat hook to be their saving grace when retrieving overboard items.

Perfect Pole’s patented Insta-Just tracking system makes adjustments foolproof, even in the dark. Perfect Pole adjusts 50 percent faster and is up to 67 percent stronger than other handles, an important consideration when lifting heavy items.

BILGE WATER POLISHING SYSTEM

Centek Industries offers the BilgeKleen bilge water polishing system, which utilizes MYCELX Hydrocarbon Removal Matrix cartridges.

The cartridges remove 99.9 percent of hydrocarbons, including sheen from gasoline and diesel fuel in a single pass without increasing back pressure on the bilge pumps, even when the filter is fully saturated.

The BilgeKleen exceeds all ICCL, Coast Guard, IMO and Lloyd’s discharge standards and is approved by the California Department of Fish and Game, as well as the US EPA for oil spill prevention.

Centek/MYCELX products are hydrophobic and bind hydrocarbons, benzene, PCBs and other byproducts instantly and permanently, while allowing water to flow easily through the system.

MARINA MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE

The Marina Program marina management software offered by Computer Consultants is well adapted for marinas with seasonal or permanent boats.

The software includes full accounts receivable and data management features.

There is a unique marina Harbor Graphic: a click on a slip brings up the occupant’s record or a vacant record ready for entry.

The POS/Guest Management module incorporates strong reservation features and handles store item sales along with checking guests in and out, calculating and charging daily rentals and taking payments.

TRAILER ROLLER

EZ Loader Boat Trailers has developed a new ribbed roller for its 2003 Roller Trailer line that is molded to be soft on the outside for gentle boat contact, yet firm on the inside for strength and rigidity.

In addition, the new non-marking roller won’t leave a black mark on a boat hull.

A dark gray in color, the roller features a patented design that allows a cushioning effect between the trailer and the boat surface. It also spins, pivots and adjusts easily by utilizing an ultra-smooth bushing assembly.

EZ Loader developed this new roller as a competitive advantage over hard plastic yellow rollers, which do not offer cushioning.

DEALER MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE

Lightspeed MARINE provides price books and parts catalogs for more than 16 manufacturers; simplifies parts & major unit inventory management; generates and tracks repair orders & warranty claims; facilitates finance & insurance; manages customer prospecting; provides on-demand customized reports; executes accounts payable and receivable; processes payroll; and offers remote access capabilities.

The company’s specialty, however, is concrete pontoons, which it has manufactured all over the world, including the United States, Mexico, Argentina, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, Greece, Spain and Sweden.

Marinas can access SF Marina System concrete breakwaters and or walkway pontoons anywhere in the world.

CLEANING TOOLS

Shurhold offers a full line of high-quality fixed-length and telescoping handles, brushes, mops, chamois, squeegees and scrubber pads that feature the Shur-Lok quick release adapter. This system locks each accessory in place to keep it from twisting or popping off during use.

When a boat is tied up in its slip, there’s no better time to take care of regular maintenance. Most skippers who need a specific type of brush or mop, but either don’t own one or prefer not to take up precious room storing it onboard would be happy to visit the marina’s ship’s store or even to rent cleaning tools from the marina instead of getting in the car and finding a hardware store.

For marinas that offer boat cleaning services, Shurhold products provide peace of mind. Wraparound safety bumpers prevent nicks and scratches, and the swivel pad is ideal for hard to reach surfaces and contours. Every Shurhold soft bristle brush has flared ends to hold more soap and water.
