Protect Your Dog

Author: boater, 06 29th, 2010

A dog life vest is a great product to protect your dog from drowning, we all think that a dog can naturally swim well that is not necessarily true some dogs just do not adjust to being in the water very well and will  become disoriented if they end up in the water.  Dogs can get very excited if they see other dogs or animals and fall in the water and then they have a problem trying to swim.  A dog life vest will save a dog in the water and some even have straps so that it is easy to pick the dog up out of the water  so make a dog live vest part of your marine accessories list.




Reason For Life Jackets

I was out on the lake and saw a Police boat stop another boat with several people on it and guess what they found a child under twelve without a life jacket on which they then gave the boat driver a ticket and checked the boat for all of the other required items needed on the boat.  This is a very good reason to have life jackets for everyone and children under twelve must be wearing one when the boat is underway.  Now is a good time to check your marine accessories list to make sure you have all required items




Protect Your Boat

A boat dock bumper is not a bumper like the bumper on your car it an item that you hang on the side of your boat to protect from doing damage to your boat if you hit the dock.  You should carry at least four boat bumpers on your boat in case you need protection on both sides of your boat, you never know where some boater will  try to tie their boat off.  You need boat dock bumpers in a lot of different circumstances such as when you get gas at a marina or when you are next to other boats floating around or when you are going to tie up to the dock at the end of the day.

An undamaged propeller can help your boats performance very much and save you money on gas as well as replacing other parts damaged by using a bad propeller.  A new Turning Point Propeller will get you out of the hole faster and will let you turn quicker and if you are pulling someone you will get on plane much faster.  Turning Point Propellers are designed to give you the very best performance because of their special design and the testing that is done on each family of propellers and wither it is stainless steel or aluminum and no matter what price you pay.  Turning Point Propellers are always testing to find a better designed propeller to make your boating a great experience.




Use Marine Stereo Equipment

Author: boater, 06 23rd, 2010

Boating and water sports are popular and lots of fun. Mobile entertainment adds to the fun while presenting installation challenges different from those found in car stereo applications. Marine stereo products address these challenges with coated circuit boards (sealing out moisture), sealed switches and CD compartments to keep water out. Waterproof materials such as polypropylene and several plastics are used wherever possible to ensure performance and durability in marine conduit.  Their are several good manufactures of marine stereos such as Boss which we know has a very large selection of stereo equipment.




Finding Fish

Author: WaterBlogged, 06 22nd, 2010

Since fishing season opened, my son and I have been going anging a couple of times a week in our favorite local lake. We usually have a good deal of success in a few trusty locations around the coastline, but this year the fish just don’t seem to be biting. After a disappointing weekend with nothing but a few nibbles, I’ve decided to invest in some new equipment to augment our fishing expeditions.

I started by going to the local fishing shop and purchasing a slew of new lures and spinners to change things up a bit. It also occurred to me that we might have depleted the fish from the trusty spots we usually frequent, so I also invested in a Humminbird fishfinder. This revolutionary gadget allows us to see what’s below the water’s surface, so we don’t waste time casting our lines when nothing is happening below the surface.




Boat Fenders A Must

Author: boater, 06 22nd, 2010

Most boaters want their boat to always look like new and one way to do that is to use boat fenders whenever you tie up at a dock or close to another boat.  Boat fenders are an important product in your marine accessories list along with your life vest and many other items.  When protecting you boat you need to treat your boat as if no one else cares and protect it with boat fenders and parking in a good safe spot.  Boat fenders come in many different colors and sizes so it should be easy to find protection for your boat.




Fun With Sportsstuff

Author: boater, 06 21st, 2010

This weekend their was a lot of boating on the lake which means a lot of fun to be had and a lot of it was with Sportstuff inflatable towables of all shapes and sizes.  One item I did not see used is the booster ball which is a product to keep the tow rope up out of the water, which makes the Sportsstuff towable work better and it also will keep the rope up so it is easy to see and you do not run over it.  Sportsstuff makes a very large selection of products from a one person inflatable to several people which means fun for everyone in your boating party.  If you are going to purchase an inflatable towable make sure you get a good pump because if you do not and you try to use a hand pump you will be very bust for a long time trying to fill the towable.




Fun With Towable Tubes

Towable tube season is here the water is warm the weather is hot and you are ready to have fun on the water with your friends and family.  You did as you should have and got your  boat ready for a summer of fun without any boat problems to deal with and you have a proper fitting life jacket for every one but do you have any towable tubes to have fun with.  If you have a Sportsstuff inflatable then you want to make sure you have a Sportsstuff Booster Ball to use with your towable because it will make your towable work a lot better.  Towable tubes come in a lot of different shapes and sizes and for one to several people so you have a lot of fun things to choose from.  Inflatable towables will last you several years so when choosing you towable keep in mind that this is just not one season of fun.
