Mini Tyre Side Fenders
From
!

The side fenders, made from real go-kart tyres are ideal for protecting your hull when moored up against hard banks such as concrete or steel piling.

The narrow ones (front tyres!) are 5" wide and suitable for most places, whilst the wide ones (rear tyres) are 8" wide and are better for very irregular moorings or if you want a good gap between bank and boat.

They are supplied with a stainless steel mounting ring securely bolted through the casing.

Waterbuoy Float
!

This is the product featured on 'Dragons Den'. We were so impressed with its capabilities that we got some as soon as possible. Now you can get one (or more).

What is a Waterbuoy? It is a small keyfob like device which can be attached to your keys, your mobile phone or anything else valuable to you which you might lose overboard.

Once immersed in water it automatically inflates a reinforced balloon strong enough to lift up to a kilogram of wieight to the surface and flashes a light within it too to make sure you can find it.

With all the data now being stored on mobile phones it is imperative that yours has a Waterbuoy attached to it. Even a windlass can be lifted to the surface by a waterbuoy!

Aluminium Boat Pole
!

We have had a lot of requests from customers for a lightweight, long-lasting boat pole, so we have now designed a 10'' 6" long (3.2 m) aluminium boat pole.

This pole is much lighter than the equivalent wooden pole and with a turned wooden handle at one end and rubber foot at the other it floats so that if you drop it in the water you have a chance of retrieving it.

Garmin Yellow GPS System
!

The purpose of having a GPS system on your boat is not really to navigate the canal - one of the canal guides is sufficient for that.

The features of the system are:

  • Accurate speed in knots or mph
  • Position in OS map coordinates (useful if you need to call one of the emergency services
  • Direction (useful for setting up Satellite TV systems)
  • Distance travelled (useful for your boat log)
  • Time you have been travelling (also useful for your boat log)
  • Altitude (something you might wonder about sometimes)

It can also give you useful information such as the accurate time, the time of sunrise and sunset or your average speed or maximum speed.

Many boaters have been sceptical about the need for GPS on the canals but once they have tried one, they wouldn't be without it

We provide this system with rechargeable batteries (from a 240 volt supply) and a 12volt cable so that you don't need to use up the batteries whilst on board.

Call us if you want more information or to discuss the best model for you.

Garmin Grey GPS System
!

For details of how a GPS system can benefit you, see the Yellow System details, above.

The main diferences between this system and the yellow one are as follows:

  • Direction is only shown in combinations of N,S,E and W (therefore not useful for Satellite TV alignment)
  • Position in latitude and longitude (not so useful for the emergency services)
  • 12v cable recharges batteries so 240v not required on board)
  • Easier to show more readouts on display

Call us if you want more information or to discuss the best model for you.

Garmin Yellow System Mounting Bracket
!
This clever bracket allows you to attach your Garmin Yellow GPS System to your boat and adjust its angke for ease of viewing. The system can easily be removed for security or to use off the boat. (Picture shows Yellow system mounted on Bracket)
