New Products for Your Boating Lifestyle!

New Products for Your Boating Lifestyle! Sep 28, 2022
Share:

Our friends at Martin Flory Group have provided a special report on new boating products that were to be displayed at IBEX, but unfortunately, Hurricane Ian has forced the cancellation of the show!

The cancellation of IBEX means we’ll miss seeing those of you who would normally be in the aisles this week, and helping Martin Flory Group celebrate our 60th anniversary in person.

Attention is now on Florida. We hope everyone who needed to leave IBEX has done so successfully. May those living in danger zones be safe.

On behalf of our clients exhibiting at IBEX, below is a summary of new products you would have seen, plus some tried-and-true problem-solvers.

As for the Martin Flory Group team, we will be at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (Oct 26-30) and at METSTRADE in Amsterdam (Nov 15-17) and hope to see you there.


NEW PRODUCTS:

JMP – JMP Adds to Yanmar Replacement Pump Lineup

JMPBoth recreational boaters and commercial mariners trust the Yanmar name for exceptional durability and long-lived power. But when their seawater cooling pumps need changing, savvy owners turn to JMP Corporation. A true drop-in replacement, its new model JPR-YM07IP expands the company’s commitment to covering Yanmar’s entire lineup. Find our more about this and other products visit: www.jmpusa.com


LIQUI MOLY – Gas Additive Now for Bigger Boats

LIQUI MOLYStale gasoline makes for hard starting and poor combustibility. But it’s not practical—nor recommended—to run a marine engine dry to avoid having fuel sit in a tank unused. The solution is to use LIQUI MOLY Marine Gasoline Stabilizer. Now available in a larger size for bigger boats, it keeps fuel fresh for months and provides long-term protection against fuel aging and oxidation-related problems.

ProSpec – Portable Speaker Perfect Boating Lifestyle Accessory

JBLThe new JBL by Harman Flip 6 Portable Waterproof Speaker from ProSpec Electronics may be the year’s most perfect boating lifestyle accessory. Completely waterproof for sandbar and beach excursions, it’ll crank music for up to 12 hours. And because it’s Bluetooth 5.1 enabled, mobile devices can stay safely stowed on the boat up to 125′ away. It’s ideal for both owners wanting portable tunes, as well as OEMs offering premium add-ons to installed stereo systems.

Sea-Fire – New Portable Extinguisher Stops Lithium Battery Fires

Veratron – Compact Gauge Provides Wealth of Boat Data

The new Veratron VMH 14 round all-in-one gauge is easily configured to display eight different data types.

Webasto – New Electric Telescopic Shade Is Easy to Install

Beckson – Quality Hatches Open 180 Degrees

Flow-Rite – Remote Drain Plug Benefits Trailerable Boats

Find our more about this and other products visit: www.flow-rite.com


GA Communications – Antenna Ensures Maximum VHF Transmission and Reception

Raritan – Atlantes Freedom Toilet Provides Residential Comfort

Plus, it’s available in white or bone to complement any classic or contemporary interior marine décor. Find our more about this and other products visit: www.raritaneng.com


Ritchie – Magnetic Compasses Are More Than a Failsafe

Tested and proven in grueling offshore racing conditions, the Navigator 2000 and Helmsman 1002 are ideal for use on commercial and recreational boats.
