Tie Down’s Quick Set Anchor and Greenfield’s Slip Ring Anchor have used a design with a slip ring and slip lock shank. The slip ring design insures proper set regardless of which way the anchor lands. A slip design also allows easy retrieval in snag prone areas.
Federal law requires recreational boaters to carry one US coast guard approved life jacket (also known as a Personal Floatation Device P.D.F.) for each person on the boat. These jackets must be in good condition and the correct size for the wearer. Any boat 16ft and longer (except canoes and kayaks) must also carry one throwable PFD (Type IV PFD).
Personal Flotation Device Accessibility Rules
The coast guard also states that the PDF’s must be wearable and readily accessible. The PDF’s must be in a spot that the wearer could put them on in a reasonable amount of time in an emergency (vessel sinking, on fire, etc.).
- They should not be stowed in plastic bags, in locked or closed compartments or have other gear stowed on top of them.
- The best PFD is the one you will wear.
- Though not required, a PFD should be worn at all times when the vessel is underway. A wearable PFD can save your life, but only if you wear it.
- Throwable devices must be immediately available for use.
Many people have complained this year of ethanol based fuels. We don’t see the same problems with our cars because cars, unlike boats, usually replace fuel every week or two, which will successfully prevent the possibility of water-contamination and phase separation.
Here is a New Product Designed to Help Combat these problems.
Star Tron: Star Tron is an amazing fuel treatment based on naturally occurring enzymes. Although this is a very unique application of enzyme technology, we encounter various enzymes in our everyday lives. For example, enzymes in laundry detergents break down dirt and stains so that they may be easily washed away, even in cold water. Enzymes in the human digestive system break down food into components that are easily used by the body to produce energy. Functioning as biocatalysts, enzymes increase and control the rate of chemical reactions. Star Tron uses highly specialized enzymes to modify how gasoline and diesel fuel burns, the end result being more complete and uniform combustion. This same enzyme package, cleans the fuel delivery system and combustion chambers, stabilizes fuel chemistry and reduces engine emissions
