ABYC hosts regional seminars

ANNAPOLIS, Md. — The American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) announces a new regional seminar series to be hosted in various locations around the country. Attendees can earn continuing education units (CEUs) while networking with industry experts. In April, three sessions are scheduled around the Pacific Northwest and one session will be held in Port Jefferson, N.Y.

“One of the most rewarding parts of our job is spending time with our members all across the country,” said ABYC President John Adey. “Presentations like these give us that opportunity while bringing ABYC’s safety message through demonstrations and give and take discussions.”

Attendees will learn best practices on circuit protection and battery management as well as see the latest electrical products.

“It is rare when organizations in different segments of the marine industry can get together and offer an event that will make boating safer through education,” said David Johnson, vice president of the Power Products, LLC Marine and Mobile Division. “ABYC provides a strong and active organization to establish, train and update the guidelines for proper wiring of pleasure craft. Blue Sea Systems, now a part of six brands including Ancor, BEP, Marinco, Mastervolt and Pro Mariner, are committed to designing electrical products that help the industry comply to ABYC Standards.”
