It’s a cooling system that builds on proven marine cooling technology — evolving the way pre-insulated galley lockers are transformed into energy-smart refrigeration. This self-contained, refined system is designed for luxury pontoons, sportfishing vessels, and power cruisers, ideal for boaters looking for efficient cooling tailored to their space, needs, and lifestyle. BWI judge Ryan Gullang helped select the Coldmachine as an NMMA Innovation Award winner and said, “Ice bags beware — with its compact footprint, sleek design, and minimal environmental impact, the Dometic CSX turns any space into a cooled compartment.”
Engineered to accommodate storage volumes from 60L up to 400L, the CSX Series’ fully integrated design combines a high-efficiency compressor, fan-cooled evaporator, and digital temperature control in one space-saving unit. It is available in refrigerator and deep-freeze versions to accommodate the needs of different boats and boating lifestyles.
This new solution uses up to 15 percent less power than similar, previous models and operates using Dometic’s low Global Warming Potential (GWP) refrigerant, making it a future-compliant and more sustainable option for today’s technology-laden boats. (www.dometic.com)
The Garmin OnBoard System supports up to eight wireless MOB (Man Overboard) tags simultaneously, so you can tag what matters most—adults, children, pets and objects—all at the same time. Tags can be worn on a wrist band, carabiner or key ring float, and designated as either captain or passenger. If a MOB is detected, the system will save a waypoint on the chartplotter and audible alarms will sound. Should the captain fall overboard, the system will also automatically trigger engine cutoff. Captains can also disable the engine via a button-press on the tag if needed.
Susan Lyman, Garmin’s vice president of sales and marketing said, “Wearing an MOB tag that can activate an engine kill switch on a boat can potentially save lives. As part of our commitment to making boating safer and more enjoyable for everyone, we designed Garmin OnBoard with safety and convenience in mind using wireless, non-intrusive tags that will bring the boat to a stop and alert those on board if an MOB event is detected.”
Offering peace of mind on the water, this system allows users to move freely around the boat without the need for a physical tether, and is compatible with any boat that has an engine cutoff switch and a compatible Garmin chartplotter. Tags can be easily disabled temporarily to allow for hassle-free swimming and excursions, and the tag battery life often exceeds a single season of typical operation. Newly available, the Garmin OnBoard System has a suggested retail price of $499.99, and additional MOB tags are available for $149.99. (www.garmin.com/marine)
Rated at 20 amps (300 watts) of continuous RGBW output, the MSLC is capable of driving an entire boat’s RGBW lighting system—including speaker lighting, accent lighting, and accessories—from a single, reliable controller. Designed to KICKER’s Real Marine durability and performance standards, the MSLC is built to withstand the electrical, environmental, and vibration challenges of marine use.
The wired, dash-mounted rotary remote delivers immediate, tactile control without the reliability concerns common to Bluetooth or app-based interfaces. Users can quickly select lighting modes—including music, flash, pulse, color-change, and solid—across 17 preset colors, without searching for a misplaced handheld remote or relying on a mobile device.
The MSLC also features plug-and-play DIN connectivity, simplifying installation by consolidating multiple lighting circuits into a single, serviceable connection point. This reduces wiring complexity, improves long-term reliability, and streamlines installs for both professional installers and experienced DIY boaters.
Where conventional marine LED controllers often rely on low-frequency pulse-width modulation—a common source of electromagnetic noise—the MSLC employs high-frequency switching technology engineered to operate outside the audible range. The result is clean, noise-free operation, allowing lighting and audio systems to perform simultaneously at full output with no hum, buzz, or signal interference. (www.kicker.com)

PT360 pairs a retractable bow thruster with a stern-mounted thruster and integrates them into a single joystick. This low-speed control with coordinated bow and stern thrust makes positioning in wind and currents calm and predictable. With proportional response, you can slide sideways, rotate in place, or make subtle corrections without the back-and-forth that usually comes with tight maneuvering. It quickly feels natural for boaters who want more control without added complexity.
The bow unit retracts beneath the deck when not in use, keeping performance clean and hardware protected. It creates no additional drag at speed and does not interfere with beaching, trailering, or cruising speeds.
Like other SideShift systems, PT360 installs without hull penetration below the waterline. Many owners handle the installation themselves using the provided guides, and knowledgeable support is available if you want a second set of eyes.
What owners notice first is predictability. When movement is precise, communication improves as well. A partner can focus on lines and spacing rather than guessing what the boat will do next. The included wireless remote fob adds flexibility, allowing controlled positioning from the dock during final adjustments.
PT360 does not replace experience. It simply enhances control in close quarters, leading to smoother arrivals, easier departures, and less stress when conditions are not cooperating. Priced at $7,625, PT360 turns a challenging approach into a controlled, one-joystick move, helping you settle into the slip with confidence. (www.sideshift.com)
