Picking the Best Marine Solutions For Today’s Demands

Covid Brings New Challenges to Boating Industry

COVID travel and gathering restrictions has led to an increase in outdoor activities such as recreational boating. According to data reported by Barrons, “total new U.S. recreational boat sales in May were the highest in a single month since 2007, with increases across all segments.”

With the effects of coronavirus most likely still lingering well into the warmer months of 2021, this trend does not appear to be waning anytime soon.

The increased interest in boating has led to a greater demand for marine related equipment, both within the marine commercial and manufacturing industry, and with those who purchase watercraft and boating equipment.

Ensuring Superior Performance for Your Marine Applications

If you’re involved in the marine industry or recreational marine activities, it’s important to pay attention and prevent any maintenance issues that may arise with your marine equipment and components. It’s critical to ensure they are equipped to combat the effects of saltwater, vibration, high-temperatures, UV rays, and other harsh conditions that make them vulnerable to corrosion, oxidization, and other types of damage.

Although the above issues are nothing new when it comes to marine equipment—COVID has added an additional challenge with the rigorous sanitation and cleaning protocols for boats and equipment.

This heightened exposure to harsh cleaning chemicals requires the need for marine components that are designed to hold up to these types of elements.

As a result, it’s critical to be sure each component is built specifically to withstand these challenges. Preventing corrosion, oxidation and other damage requires vulnerable equipment to be supported with top-of-the-line cable management components that have the key industry ratings and approvals (e.g. NEMA, IP68/69K and so on).

Reduce your liability and costs by using premium high-quality anti-corrosive and liquid-tight marine solutions that withstand long-term environmental demands. We offer products with innovative technology designed for underwater and marine requirements – ideal for boats, yachts, depth sensors, dive lights, cranes, antennas, fish locators, and more.
