By 2006, all cargo vessels engaged in cold water will be required to provide immersion suits for the full capacity of passenger and crew members onboard. Viking Life-Saving Equipment acknowledges the various applications and demands from the ships and has developed a new, more extensive line of Immersion Suits.
Ranging from traditional neoprene suits to more advanced polyurethane suits with a separate liner, Viking offers a complete line. All suits are approved to the latest SOLAS requirements providing increased protection against hypothermia in an abandon ship situation. The VIKING Immersion Suits are all equipped with 3M reflective tape, reinforced nonslip soles, neoprene gloves and a SOLAS whistle. Optional features include a lifting harness, buddy line and light.

DELTA EXPANDS FACILITY TO ACCOMMODATE MORE AND LARGER PROJECTS...
Seattle, January 2005—Delta will complete construction of a new high-bay manufacturing and assembly building early in the first quarter of 2005. The new building is part of a three-phase expansion project that began in 2003.
Phase one of the expansion included the installation of a 400-ton Marine Travelift and boat lift pier to service the increasing demands of the Refit and Repair Division. Phase two includes the construction of a new high-bay assembly building, the addition of seven acres of land and the purchase of state-of-the-art machinery and equipment. Phase three will complete the project and include new offices for the in-house Delta Design Group, project management and the Refit and Repair Division. The entire project will increase total acreage to twenty-five acres and total enclosed manufacturing space to over 275,000 square feet...

MAGMA ANNOUNCES BIGGEST GOURMET GRILL...
Magma Products' newest and largest Gourmet Grill, the Monterey, boasts 420 square inches of grilling area—large enough to provide an onboard banquet for the hungriest of crews.
The Monterey's rectangular housing/grill area features 100% mirror-polished stainless steel construction, reliable Piezo ignition, double-lined inner safety shells, front-access lock-in, and slide-out grease trays. Closely placed grill grate struts keep small items from falling through the cooking surface.
The Monterey is equipped with an oversized, hinged, balanced lid to accommodate large cuts of meat, fish or fowl, but won't accidentally slam shut when the boat rolls. A stainless steel thermometer is mounted inside the grill lid. When not in use, all of the grill's components lock securely into place.
The Monterey uses readily available 1-pound disposable propane canisters, or easily adapts to onboard LPG (propane) or CNG (natural gas) systems...

ACTUATOR PLACES A SMOOTH RIDE AT THE FINGERTIPS
Glendinning Marine Products' Smart Actuator takes the fight out of balky engine and transmission linkage systems and gives boaters complete control of speed plus forward and reverse — with a single lever.
The Smart Actuator, used with Glendinning's Model CH2001 control head, creates a smooth arc of finely controlled power, even on throttles and gears linked by inferior-quality control cables. With Glendinning's Complete Control electronic engine control system, the boater can regulate speed and direction with accuracy and ease.
The EEC system with Smart Actuator provides sensitive throttle and gear response for sidling up to a dock, towing, anchoring or slow maneuvers that require precision handling. The EEC system utilizes CANbus interface technology, which simplifies wiring and allows greater flexibility when adding control stations...

PEERLESS PORTS PROTECT IN ALL CONDITIONS
Few port windows can claim to be watertight, provide varying, measured degrees of ventilation, ease-of-use and distinctive looks. But New Found Metals' Tri-Matrix, caulkless, self-sealing ports are that and more.
Made of 316/316L stainless steel and ABS weather - resistant copolymers, the port is light weight and strong. Stainless steel bands accent the interior and exterior rings while anchoring two cam dogs and a double hinge and the main frame’s polymer has UV inhibitors which resist fading from the sun.
Tri-Matrix ports are a good alternative for the boater who dreads going to battle with a messy caulking gun to replace old, unattractive port windows. The ports' bolt-through construction is engineered for a permanent dry-fitting as the plates compress a ring of closed-cell,
silicon foam to half its thickness.
The compressed foam seals the outside edges of the port from the elements...

BOATERS AND ANGLERS CAN NOW ORGANIZE GEAR IN STYLE...
Nothing catches the eye quicker than the glitter of polished stainless steel. To keep things close at hand and brighten the look of the cockpit, BoatMates Marine, a division of HCL Ltd., offers its new Tournament Series stainless steel Folding Drink Holder and Knife And Pliers Caddy.
Made from polished 304 stainless for timeless good looks and functionality, the Folding Drink Holder not only saves space, but also incorporates molded silicone fingers to adjust to varying sizes of cans, cups, cozies and mugs. A silicone coaster on the inside of the cover reduces noise and keeps containers from sliding.
For fishermen, the Knife And Pliers Caddy, also in 304 stainless, is great for keeping small tools, lures and lines handy and off the deck. Injection-molded ABS inserts protect tools and reduce noise...

Volvo Penta is now launching a new propulsion system for boats – the Volvo Penta IPS (Inboard Performance System).
The new system is proposed to make boats faster, stronger, quieter, cleaner and just as easily maneuverable as a normal passenger car.
In simplified terms, the new system features propellers that are turned in the direction in which the boat is traveling. Volvo Penta has placed pulling and counter-rotating propellers through the bottom of the hull, which provides the boat with significantly improved performance, compared with traditional shaft installations...

WITH ELONGATED BOWL, THE ATLANTES HAS THE COMFORT OF HOME...
For boaters that insist on the comforts of home while onboard, the Atlantes toilet from Raritan is available with an elongated bowl. Its larger seat size is far more comfortable than the standard marine toilet seat.
The residential-sized Atlantes provides an optimal sitting height. Nearly 3" deeper than a standard bowl, the sturdy, oval-shaped toilet offers a supportive, restful sitting area for maximum comfort. The extended rim length makes cleaning easier and improves sanitary conditions.
The electric macerating toilet conserves water through three flush options: normal, water saver and dry flush. It also has an adjustable, automatic timed-flush feature. Easy to clean and maintain, the Atlantes offers consistent, trouble-free performance. All working parts are contained inside the one-piece porcelain bowl for simple, flexible installation above or below the waterline...

CLEAT CHOCKS CATCH THE EYE BUT NOT THE LINE
Stainless-steel cleat chocks from New Found Metals are not only stylish and innovative, but are hand-polished so lines can pass through without danger of chafing. A cleat chock can function as a cleat, a chock or a fairlead.
The chock's horns are offset from the base at a slight angle, to lead the mooring line away from the hull as much as possible. The cleat chock can be mounted inboard or outboard.
Hand-polished cleat chock surfaces, especially the undersides of the horns, ensure uniform smoothness to virtually eliminate friction against secured lines.
The 316 Series comes in three sizes: 8", 10" and 12", with 3/8" x 2" studs on the first two and a ½" x 2" stud on the l2-incher. The smallest chock weighs about 2-1/2 lbs.
MSRP of the cleats starts at $39.95.

THE CABLEMASTER: ShorePower Made Easy
One way a boater can run afoul of the gear when docking or undocking is by wrestling with heavy, soiled, shore-power cables - and maybe wrenching his back in the process. With the touch of a button, Glendinning Marine Products' Cablemaster units will extend, retract and store many different sizes of shore cable, keeping them out of the water and the decks free of excess coils of cable.
Cablemaster comes in three models and can handle 30- to 200-amp cables. Time-tested Cablemasters, widely accepted by major yacht manufacturers worldwide, handle cables up to 2 inches (50 mm) in outside diameter.
Unlike industrial reels, the Cablemaster system does not carry shore power through slips rings or brushes, which can be susceptible to moisture or corrosion in a harsh marine environment...
