Have you lost fenders? Or find them difficult to adjust, try these.

After losing far too many fenders in rough weather, I decided to give these a try and was really impressed, since we haven't lost any since. Also as a bonus, my wife loves them, since they are SO EASY to adjust up and down depending on the docking situation. A WIN WIN for everyone.

Doing repairs, or new installations? Want well priced Marine supplies.



Since we can't afford to have mechanics, or electricians do all the work on board, we choose to do most of the work ourselves. If you're handy with tools, and can read up on the details of certain jobs, you can gain a major sense of accomplishment and appreciation for a job well done.


Want to improve the Heating and Cooling on your Houseboat?



We've had, and installed a few of these units in different Houseboats, and have always been very pleased. They're small, quiet, efficient, and very effective at heating and cooling your boat. They can be installed down and "out of sight", and they come with a great 5yr warranty.
