Maximize the Cooling Ability of Your Cooler Raritan Engineering Company your  marine heads  specialists would like to share with you these topics we thought would be of interest to you this month regarding easy ways to make your boat cooler cooler. Your marine heads experts talk about how you want your drinks and snacks to stay cold longer without forking over hundreds for a high-end cooler? Here's how to hack a cheap model. Until I got my latest boat, I'd never owned a boat with a fridge. I'd always used a cooler. It was OK and it fit nicely on the boat, but the performance was far from stellar. The ice melted within a day, and I thought that this was just the way it had to be.  On further investigation, it turned out that many cheap coolers are just an inner and outer skin of plastic with an air space between them. If this space can be filled with some sort of insulation, rather than just relying on dead air, the contents of the cooler will stay col...

 Are You Sick of Motion Sickness? If traveling by car, train, plane, or boat makes you queasy, there’s good news: Not only can you take steps to stop motion sickness before it starts, you may actually be able to conquer it for good. Why some people get motion sickness and others don’t isn’t fully understood. Researchers believe it’s caused by incongruence in our body’s sensory systems. For instance, on a slow-moving cruise ship, your eyes may tell the brain you’re not moving at all, but the systems in your brain and inner ear that control balance and posture (vestibular and somatosensory systems) say, “Yes we are!” This mismatch confuses the brain and causes a variety of symptoms, including: Dizziness Headache Nausea Salivation Sweating Belching Acute awareness of the stomach Vomiting Hyperventilation (in extreme cases) You certainly can take medications to help relieve these symptoms. But if you’d like to try overcoming motion sickness for good, here are so...

Get Help On Choosing the Right Radar For You   Raritan Engineering Company your  marine heads  experts would like to share with you these topics we thought would be of interest to you this month regarding which fishing radar is best for you.   Your marine heads professionals discuss the big question, dome or open array: Which would work best for you? Granted, I fish mainly inshore on my bay boat, but still I find times when radar might be useful to me: when I can’t clearly see pelicans diving on pogies in the distance; when fog or low-light conditions make navigation tricky; when I want to see which way a rain system is moving and how fast. I asked the experts to spell out basic differences between domes and arrays so anglers could more easily take the first step in a ­radar-purchase decision. Boat Logistics “Typically we start off first by asking what kind of boat they have,” says David Dunn, director of sales and mark...

Your Marine Heads Professionals Talk About How to Fish Successfully in Choppy Waters Raritan Engineering your  marine heads  specialists would like to share with you these topics we thought would be of interest to you this month regarding how to handle fishing in rough seas. Your marine heads distributors talk about how fish often bite as the sea stirs. Steep waves and a stiff breeze also whet anticipation for some anglers and enliven action aboard. “Wahoo definitely bite better when the breeze kicks up,” says Bermuda charter and tournament captain Allen DeSilva. In DeSilva’s waters, that’s 15 knots and 6-foot seas. “Marlin are the opposite. The days we get five, six, seven fish are not rough,” he says.  Adjust Your Trolling Speed One reason average or calm seas favor marlin fishing is that it’s easier to see trolled lures and fish in the spread. “When it gets rough, bring everything in closer,” DeSilva says, to overcome the decreased visibility. He al...

Your Marine Heads Specialists Talk About Some Great Ways to Get Your Fishing Fix During Winter Raritan Engineering your  marine heads  suppliers would like to share with you these topics we thought would be of interest to you this month regarding how to find some great winter fishing spots. For hardcore anglers, myself among them, just about any fishing is better than none at all. It's not even necessarily a matter of traveling to a warmer climate. It's the fishing, which is why I sometimes toss piles of fleece and Gore-Tex into the truck and head for a winter steelhead river, where I can wade happily for hours and cast along the edges of icy slush.  Winter is also an opportune time to fish those places you've always wanted to try or for those species that have always fascinated you. Some years back, I fished with a longtime Florida bass guide who confessed in a quiet moment that his lifelong dream was to go tarpon fishing.  Here are 15 top winter fishin...

Your Marine Heads Manufacturers Give Pointers on Preventing Engine Overheating Raritan Engineering your  marine heads  professionals would like to share with you these topics we thought would be of interest to you this week regarding how good maintenance prevents boat engines from overheating. Your marine heads specialists share how one of the problems with boats is they live in water that is shared by things like seaweed, algae, mollusks, scum, and sometimes floating trash — all of which can easily find a way into the raw-water intake port. Kelp and other types of seaweed can easily clog your intakes and cause engine overheating. Dire Diagnosis I decided to let the engine cool for several minutes while we drifted. That gave me time to assess the possibilities — perhaps the water-pump impeller had failed, or a bit of plastic sheet (maybe a discarded floating sandwich baggie) had been sucked up against the cooling-water inlet, or it might be the raw-...

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...
