Raritan  Macerating Toilet Specialists Share the Pros and Cons of Multi-Hull Sailing Raritan Engineering your  macerating toilet  distributors would like to share with you these topics we thought would be of interest to you this month regarding the excitement of multi-hull sailing. The Offshore Multihull Association (OMA) was formed last year by the owners of performance-oriented Multi-hulls with the goal of promoting the growth of this exciting category of performance cruising yachts.  Your macerating toilet suppliers talk about how these multi-hulls initially included Gunboats, HH Catamarans, Outremer as well as custom designs built for their unique ability to cruise in comfort while still being able to race at speeds rivaling many of the fastest monohull racing yachts. “The performance cruising multi-hull segment is one of the fastest growing segments in yachting and we are excited to launch an organization founded to support and encourage this growt...

Your Electric Toilets Professionals Share Great Pointers Before Buying Your First Power Boat Raritan Engineering your  electric toilets  distributors would like to share with you these topics we thought would be of interest to you this month regarding the popular boats out on today's market.  Your electric toilets suppliers continue the discussion regarding how coastal surfers are seemingly on a continuous quest to find the perfect wave. Wakesurfers, though, don’t have the same issue. All they need is the right boat and they can ride a clean, powerful wave until the boat’s fuel tank hits E.  Supreme S226 Your marine head unit experts share how the Supreme S226 creates a fun wave that can be adapted to suit riders of all ages and skill levels. Besides that, with its pickle-fork bow and custom ­vinyl wrap, it’s a boat that will turn heads on the water. We surfed the S226 with three people on board, the QuickFill ballast and Plug and Play bags f...

Your Marine Toilet Distributors Talk About Safety Awareness Tips While Boating Raritan Engineering your  marine toilet  experts would like to share with you these topics we thought would be of interest to you this month regarding the need to avoid distractions while boating. The National Highway Traffic Safety Commission says that sending or reading a text takes your eyes off the road for five seconds. Your marine toilet professionals share why on waterways across the country, recreational boaters know that five seconds is a world of time to get into trouble.  Good news/bad news:  “Cellphones are the primary communication device for many boaters,” said BoatUS Foundation Assistant Director of Boating Safety Ted Sensenbrenner. “So while they’re important to all of us, we have to know how to use them wisely." The stress of it all:  Adding to the challenge and unlike automobiles, says Sensenbrenner, is boating’s unique stressors of sun, glare...

  Your Boat Toilets Specialists Talk About Effective Cleaners For Getting Rid of Mildew Raritan Engineering  would like to share with you this week some amazing tips on how to prevent mildew. We tested the most effective cleaners for mildewed fabrics in 2009 and published a follow-up on long-term treatments in 2015. In the 2015 test, we were delighted to discover that some DIY formulas and common pool treatments like Clorox Algae Eliminator can do as well as pricey store bought miracle-cures.  Canvas dodgers and biminis are the hallmark of a cruising yacht, keeping the sun at bay and allowing the crew to “dodge” the worst of the weather. Canvas also protects sails, windows, and machinery.  Clorox Pool and Spa Algae Eliminator proved to be an inexpensive cleaner/protectant. For maximum water repellency, boat owners could use impervious waterproof fabric instead of canvas, but that typically isn’t a good idea. Waterproof sail covers hold moisture, mildew...

Your Marine Heads Manufacturers Gives Great Tips On Improving Your Rudder Angles Raritan Engineering your  marine heads  distributors would like to share with you topics we thought would be of interest to you this month regarding the importance of positive rudder angles. Your marine heads distributors talk about why a big piece of the “speed loop” that’s often overlooked, especially in smaller boats, is rudder angle. I was recently chatting with main trimmer Warwick Fleury about_ Alinghi 100_, the winning boat in the 32nd America’s Cup. They sailed this boat when it was new for some time thinking it was perhaps not a step forward. Then one day, they put up a jib that was built for a different rake than the normal rake. All of a sudden, the boat started winning speed tests and eventually won the Cup. We had a similar situation at Luna Rossa with an older boat. Everything possible had been tested, from rudders to keels and masts to structures. It was not a very fast boa...

Your Macerating Toilet Experts Share the Best Ways to Successfully Acquire This Skill Raritan Engineering your  macerating toilet  specialists would like to share with you these topics we thought would be of interest to you this month regarding the best ways to drop your water ski. I learned to water-ski behind the family’s old lapstrake Lyman with a 40 hp Evinrude. It proved more than capable of hoisting 8-year-old me out of the water on two skis. But as I grew older and wanted to slalom, it didn’t have the juice to pull me up.  Step 1 Your macerating toilet suppliers discuss further how to choose a slalom ski with an open ­binding — also called a rear toe plate — for the back foot. Many recreational-level skis not designed for competition will have this feature. Put your dominant foot in the front binding as this will be your lead leg while slaloming. Step 2 Put the second ski on your other foot with the binding set as loose as possible so your foot ca...

  Your Marine Head Units Specialists Discuss How to Loosen Up Those Tight Nuts and Bolts  Raritan Engineering  your marine head units distributors would love to share with you this week these great pointers on how to unstick pesky bolts and nuts. My friend Nick and I had a discussion the other day about which bolts were tougher to break free: shaft coupling bolts or the lug nuts on an old trailer.      The muscles, in this instance, were those of Dustin Rahl, owner of a very busy mobile trailer service in Sarasota, Fla., Trailers 2 Go. The axle on the trailer for our Catalina 22 test boat  Jelly  (aka Our Lady of Perpetual Despair), had cracked at the weld, so that its left wheel splayed outward at a 20-degree angle.  But what happens if the PB isn’t enough? Carefully applied heat from a butane, MAPP-gas, or propane torch is usually the next step. After that, it’s time to break out the specialty tools. Like a chef with a favor...

Your Boat Head Specialists Share Great Tips on Keeping Your Display Panels In Great Shape   Raritan Engineering your  boat head  suppliers would like to share with you these topics we thought would be of interest to you this month regarding the best way to maintain your display panels. Your boat head distributors continues to discuss how touchscreen displays make marine electronics easier and faster to use than ever. Once you use a touchscreen, you’ll never want to go back to the old-fashioned push-button mode of operation. Think in terms of today’s touchscreen smartphones — would you ever want to go back to a flip phone? Stow If your electronics displays are bracket-mounted, remove and stow them indoors between trips. Your marine parts outlet manufacturers continue sharing how this will minimize weather exposure and thwart would-be thieves. Transport your equipment securely between the boat and storage location.  Cover You can’t easily remove flush...

Your  Marine Parts Depot  Analysts Know the Joy of Being Out on the Water Raritan Engineering your  marine parts depot  experts would like to share with you these topics we thought would be of interest to you this month regarding how sailing is one of the best sports ever. Your marine parts depot specialists feel that whether you sail competitively or not, there’s very little that can beat the sensation of being out on the water, wind filling the sails, harnessing the power of nature and relying on your skills and expertise.  Sailing lets you find some peace and quiet Sailing is a great way to bring peace and quiet into our busy lives; the simple sounds of the wind as it fills the sails, or the water as it flows past the boat can be very relaxing and centering, a perfect antidote to the stresses of the modern world.

Your  Marine Parts Source  Analysts Has Great Ideas for Your Extra Paint and Varnish  Raritan Engineering  would like to share with you this week this helpful tips on why it can be a good thing to save your extra paint and varnish. So you carried out an exhaustive spring maintenance this year and are now left with several cans of very expensive marine varnishes, bottom-paints, and other marine maintenance products—some opened, some untouched—that you don’t want to go bad. What to do? Stored in a dry place at room temperature, an unopened container of most of the varnishes and wood finishes will last anywhere from three to five years.  Once a container is opened, a multi-year shelf life is not guaranteed, but here are things to preserve the product for another season: • Meticulously clean the lid and lip before closing. The catalyst containers for some two-part finishes can cement shut. • Reduce the amount of air left in the can. You can put ...

Your  Marine Products  Specialists Get You Ready to Handle Puffs Efficiently   Raritan Engineering your  marine products  analysts would like to share with you these topics we thought would be of interest to you this month regarding the secret to leveraging puffs. Your marine products experts know that being prepared for and responding to puffs efficiently will give you the edge on the racecourse. In light air, finding and taking advantage of puffs can create massive gains both up and downwind.  BACKSTAY TENSION In the puffs, the backstay (or runner tension) should be wound on to tighten the rig and flatten the sails upwind. Your marine parts store professionals feel that will help prevent excessive heeling.  STAY IN CONTROL If you’re sailing downwind, overloading the helm can cause a broach. With the information provided from the rail, the driver and trimmer must communicate so the spinnaker sheet can be eased in the puff to unload th...
