DuraSafe E-LOCK®/Swivel Combo Provides Ultimate Protection Against Electronics Theft

Just heard of a friend who got his electronics stolen. Tears have been spilled for the price of replacing them but especially for the loss of 1500 waypoints.  Here is something to consider over the winter. 

NEW BERLIN, WISCONSIN (USA) – The E-LOCK®/Swivel Combo by DuraSafe combines two keyed-alike locks to provide ultimate protection of bracket mounted electronics that utilize a RAM® Mount.

When marine electronics are mounted to a RAM® Mount System, locks are needed for both the electronics unit and the mount. DuraSafe combines these two locks into one keyed-alike package. It is available in three different sizes depending on the RAM Mount System. Small fits B Size RAM – 1” dia. ball, Medium fits C size RAM – 1.5” dia. ball and Large fits D & E size – 2.25” and 3.37” dia. balls.

To take keyed-alike convenience a step further, boaters and anglers who already have DuraSafe locks or require several E-LOCK or E-LOCK/Swivel Combos can custom-order product from DuraSafe with all the keys the same.

The DuraSafe Electronics Lock (E-LOCK®) recently received the North American Fishing Club (NAFC) Seal of Approval after over 100 NAFC members gave the unique lock a 98 percent approval rating in field testing.

The E-LOCK/Swivel Combo is available from marine and outdoor distributors and retailers across the US. New distributors and retailers include A.C. Kerman, Northern Wholesale Marine, Bass Pro Shops, Cabela’s, Defender Industries, Tackle Warehouse, Bass & Gas and West Marine. It is now also distributed in Europe by IJsselsport and in Japan by Kisaka Marine.

Humminbird ONIX and ION

Humminbird® Unveils Most Powerful Electronics Yet

Humminbird ONIX and ION bring bluewater and freshwater anglers unparalleled power via user-friendly Cross Touch™ technology

 

Besides creating leading-edge products like 360 Imaging™, Humminbird® engineers have also been hard at work over the past two years developing a radical new platform that changes everything you know about fishing electronics.

 

“Humminbird ONIX and ION offer a rich user interface that is completely customizable to the individual needs of anglers and boaters, while remaining extremely easy-to-use via a full complement of multi-touch capabilities,” says Dale Logue, Director of Marketing, Humminbird. “The included feature list and available add-ons is unparalleled in the industry and make the units the most versatile, powerful and user friendly on the water.”

 

At the core of the new units, users will discover all the advantages of powerful Humminbird sonar, advanced navigation and Humminbird imaging technologies right at their fingertips, courtesy of a radical new take on Touch Screen operation called Cross Touch™.

 

While some touch units limit operation to finger pointing, Humminbird’s Cross Touch offers Multi-Gesture Control, which lets users navigate menus and activate features with a tap, swipe or pinch. Cross Touch also minimizes false touches from splashing water.

From marking waypoints with your finger, naming those waypoints via a virtual keyboard, to zooming in on fish-holding structure or chart locations for a better look, or swiping and dragging screens to create custom views, fishfinder use has never been more intuitive than this.
