Not only is one-handed operation more convenient, but the precision control that the steering system provides will give users greater confidence in situations where maneuvering a single outboard can be more challenging than a multi-engine configuration.

Trash blowing into the water is unacceptable, but is often the unintentional result of using a makeshift garbage bag. The new Basking Bag from SeaSucker is ideal for securing everything from trash to dirty laundry. It can be mounted in seconds wherever it’s needed — above or below deck or even outside on the hull because the innovative vacuum mount technology means it can hold up to 120 pounds indefinitely. That’s more than enough for a load of bottles or wet beach towels. The Basking Bag’s unique closure mechanism secures its contents no matter how choppy the water, but still opens easily with a convenient pull ring. Made from marine-grade UV-stabilized polymer with stainless steel hardware, the device is built for year-round outdoor exposure. (www.seasucker.com)

For a crisp viewing experience whether you’re out on the water in the bright sun or on an overcast day, Costa offers a beautiful rose gold lens with a multi-layer mirror finish. Polarized and color-enhanced, the 580 Gold lens sunglasses are inspired by the golden hour, playing on the softer and redder light from the sun.
Designed with a lighter Visible Light Transmission, these all-polarized glass sunglass lenses effectively reduce haze and blur, while boosting essential colors for superior definition. The multi-layered gold mirror finish amplifies its performance features while reflecting the adventurous spirit of its wearer. (www.costadelmar.com/en-us)

Using the innovative Cleat/Rod Holder Combo is easy. When the cleat is needed, it’s simply pulled up from the base where it can secure up to a 9,700-pound load. Afterwards, it’s retracted back into the base, ready to hold a rod. Using common household tools, the hardware can be mounted with just four bolts, and the included stainless steel backing plate doubles as an installation template. (www.acconmarine.com)
