If They Can't See It They Can't Steal It

Bandit Solutions of Peabody, MA has developed a technology that is changing the face of high security applications. Their fog machine when tied to a security alarm system, makes it impossible for burglars to enter or stay in an area that they attempt to break into. The machine sits in the corner of a room and upon violation, instantly fills the area with thick fog. The fog is odorless, leaves no residue and is harmless to sensitive electronics. The dense fog dissipates after about 30 minutes. The fog canister is good for 4 applications and a refill is available for about $125.00.

If you have a yacht with an inverter (120VAC is needed to power the unit) you can fill a 1000 square ft. area in just 3 seconds. By having a unit in the cabin and venting to your fly-bridge, your electronics would remain untouched because they can't see them to steel them. Your Marine Guard alarm would notify you of the violation so you can respond before the fog would clear.

From the Bandit Solutions Website:

As the most powerful and technically advanced fog system available today, Bandit Solutions provides the explosive power to stop a crime in progress. Perfect as an enhancement to any security system, Bandit ejects harmless dense fog at an unmatched rate of 1,000 cubic feet per second creating a high-level barrier that protects valuables from intruders.

BANDIT fills a room, store, office (or your vessel) with a thick, non-transparent fog.
fog after 0.5 sec	fog after 1.5 sec	fog after 3 sec

The fog keeps anyone from entering the room for at least 10 minutes after the alarm goes off, because they cannot see a thing. The fog has a soft mint smell, is colorless and disappears without leaving a trace. Bandit’s fog can last up to an hour but can be aired out of a room in about 15 minutes.

Marine Diesel Dance * Make the Call

A dock mate from Oregon, that keeps his boat up here in Anacortes, WA called me yesterday. He asked if I knew what marine diesel was selling for as the fuel prices around the nation are dropping dramatically over the last few weeks. I topped off 300 gals. in September (boy did that hurt the wallet) so I haven't noticed what the fuel docks are charging lately. I told him I would call around locally and report back.

I called Skyline, Cap Sante and Oak Harbor marinas and was amazed at the fluctuation in today's marine diesel prices. All offered a small discount for 100 plus gallons. The lowest was 3 cents per gal. and the best was 5 cents per gal. One quoted 3.69 another 2.60 and the best was 2.40 before the discounts were applied. All included tax.

What makes such a difference from one to another was worth looking into, so I called the most expensive back and asked. I was told that they set the price based on what they paid when they filled their tanks and don't change it until they refill. Although I can see why this practice exists, It is important to know that a few phone calls to your local marinas can add up to quite a savings.

My vessel carries 600 gallons of diesel. The savings from the highest price to the lowest price that I found today would put $780.00 in my pocket if I went just 4 miles to the other side of the island to fill my tanks.

These times and the almost daily fluctuations in our markets, call for due diligence when purchasing fuel. The days of all area prices being similar are obviously gone!

Don't Get Lost Without One!

You see it on the news all the time!

• Someone has gone for an afternoon hike and has not been seen or heard from for days.
• A persons car goes off the road and they are hidden in the bushes for days before being discovered by a passerby.

You have had it happen to you!

• Your Cruising out of communications range and your family worries about you because you have not been able to check in for days.
• The kids are traveling out of the country and you worry about them day and night while they are gone.
• A loved one is on the road and will be out of cell range for much of the trip, you pray they will arrive safely.

There is no reason for this worry to happen anymore. The SPOT personal satellite tracking unit has changed all this. The SPOT unit is extremely affordable 100% satellite technology and is readily available. I carry the unit for sale at Marine Guard Yacht Security as it is a perfect tool for boat owners. It is also available online directly from the manufacturer, at West Marine stores and Sporting good stores around the world.

The SPOT unit retails for $169.99 and the MAP (minimum advertised price allowed) is $149.99. Most retailers sell the unit at MAP pricing.

Once you purchase the unit , you go online to the SPOT website at www.findmespot.com and you register your unit and choose your annual service plan.

One year of basic monitoring with unlimited "I'm OK" and "Help" messages, along with emergency rescue request calls is $99.00 per year.

You pre- load your favorite contacts cell numbers and e-mail addresses on the web site. whenever you press the OK button, (from anywhere in the world) your friends and loved ones will receive your personal message via text and/or e-mail that you are OK. In addition to your message, they will receive a link to see on Google Maps exactly where you are in the world. (land or Sea) They can zoom in and see exactly the spot where you are by satellite imagery.

You also have a non emergency call for help button. When you press this, a message goes to only the person/s you want to receive your "please take care of that thing we arranged" request.

Most important is your 911 button. If you press this recessed button and hold it for 4 seconds (eliminates accidental presses), a call goes to GEOS dispatch and no matter where you are in the world contact will be made and rescue will be activated. If you are out of the country, a consulate will be notified and if there are no public services available, private rescue will be activated. When you activate the 911 rescue request the unit tracks your GPS movement continuously until you are rescued. Nobody has to wait around hoping to be discovered anymore!!!

Additional services offered are:

Tracking Service: If you hold the OK button down for four or more seconds, tracking is activated and your loved ones can track your locations for 24 hrs
or until you turn the unit off. These tracks are saved to review at any time and come in real handy for future float plans etc... With tracking service anyone with a pass code that you give out, can log on and see where you are during your tracking cycle. To add tracking to your unit cost $49.99 per year.

Rescue Insurance: Lloyd s of London covers up to $100,000.00 per incident for any cost incurred being rescued by activating your SPOT unit. This is particularly handy if private rescue and extradition teams are utilized to facilitate your rescue.
cost is only $7.95 per year if purchased at the time of your units activation.

The SPOT unit has already been responsible for saving a great number of lives since its release last year. It has won invention of the year and editors choice awards etc... from all the best outdoor authorities. It makes an exceptional gift for anyone you care for and yourself. The service can even be gifted with a "Service Gift Card" from the SPOT website.

Are you in the Anacortes, WA area? If you or a loved one are traveling soon and you would like to try the SPOT unit out before you buy one, It would be my pleasure to lend you my demonstration unit for the trip, and teach you how to use it. I only have one activated demo, so be sure to reserve it soon. Once you or a loved one travels with SPOT you will feel the joy of knowing you are being proactive when it comes to life safety.

Just Say The Magic Word …

By now you know that there's no such thing as real magic (except maybe during David Blane's inexplicable levitations), but the Marine Magellan Security & Monitoring System from Paradox may be the closest thing we'll ever get. Among its many capabilities, the Marine Magellan can notify you via your cell phone if any alarms are set off, including those for smoke, high water, low voltage, loss of shore power and intrusion.

What's really spellbinding, though, is the system's optional add-on Wireless PGM feature. Simply stated, the feature is a switch that is wirelessly controlled by the Marine Magellan System. A Wireless PGM is connected to the device you want to control, then the Marine Magellan, when given orders by you, instructs the PGM to turn the device on or off. This technology allows users to call into the Marine Magellan System from their cell phone or a landline and control each device from a remote location. Each device can also be controlled by a button on the included key fob remote.

The possibilities are almost endless, but popular applications include turning the cockpit lights on and off while approaching the boat at night and turning the ice maker on remotely several days before boating, so the machine is full of ice when you arrive. Currently, the Marine Magellan System can support four Wireless PGMs. Just remember to use your powers for good—playing tricks on friends who borrow your boat is not recommended.

Great Boat Name

Yesterday I pulled the vacuum pump on my aft head Vacuflush (Oh what joy!). I called around town to see if I could find a rebuild kit that would include a piston bellows, O rings and duckbills. Everyone I spoke to said they would have to order parts in for me, so I called my favorite mechanic Carl over at S.E.A Marine and asked if he had any parts in his shop. He told me he and Heather were at the shop working on a project and if I brought the pump in, he would pull the parts together and help me rebuild it.

As he was working on the pump I looked at him and said: "Always Somethin"

Carl thought for a second and said: "That would make a great boat name"

We could all only laugh when Heather added: "Yeah; and you could call your tender Somethin Else"

So Many Boats - So Many Thieves

There are so many boats being stolen in Florida on a daily basis, it could be considered ridiculous. Although there are boats being stolen everywhere, Florida is being targeted in particular due to the amount of fast boats kept there and its proximity to the islands where drug and human trafficking is prevalent.

It was inevitable that the insurance companies would step in and become pro active in enforcing a solution. I received a letter from Paradox Marine yesterday, announcing the availability of a scaled down and more affordable tracking unit in response to many requests from marine insurance companies. The new GPS tracker is to be marketed as Nav-Tracker 1.0.

Attached below is the announcement from Paradox Marine about this new GPS boat tracker, in response to letter that the boat insurance underwriters have begun sending out warning all boat owners that they will not be able to renew their boat insurance on stored or in the water boats, without proof of purchase of a GPS tracking system. A copy of an actual letter being sent out by Charter Lakes Marine Insurance Agency, is posted on the Marine Guard Security website here

******************************************
From: Jay Keenan, Paradox Marine
To: Marine Guard Yacht Security
Date: 11/14/08

Hello All,

I wanted to make everyone aware of a new product we are releasing in response to requests from various insurance companies to offer a low cost GPS tracking system for their customers (see attached letter that Charter Lakes Marine Insurance just sent out). The new product is called the NAV-TRACKER 1.0 and it is essentially a bare bones NAV-TRACKER. We have taken as much away from the design as possible to provide a unit that will meet the new requirements of the companies at the lowest possible cost.

The advantage of the system is low cost.

The disadvantage of the system is:

1. There is no control box, so no where to hook up sensors or a siren

2. The only way to arm/disarm the geo-fence is via the new website

(we are working on a text message based arm/disarm, but do not expect to release it until some time in the 2nd quarter of next year)

Please keep in mind that all NAV-TRACKERS will transmit through fiberglass, and should be installed in the gunwale or somewhere else on the boat where there is just fiberglass between the antenna and the sky. It is very important that there is no metal because it will interfere with the transmissions. We do not recommend installing them on the hard top for 2 reasons:

1. thieves may try to destroy the antenna

2. the first thing a lot of these guys do when they steal a boat is to cut off the T-top to give a lower
profile and avoid being picked up by radar since most boats are being used to run drugs or humans.

We have designed a special L-bracket antenna installations. It is strongly recommended that you include these brackets with all NAV-TRACKERs.

Fast Woman and Boating

From: Walt Pepple, San Diego, CA
Source: Boating Magazine

At 14:00 hours on Tuesday afternoon I received a call from my wife:"Honey, someone tried to steal Joint Endeavor." What happened was that she was parking her car in the marina lot, someone heaved a line from Joint Endeavor's cockpit to the dock. She assumed it was dockhands moving the boat, until she realized she didn't recognize the men. Then they hopped on plane waaaay too close to the dock. So what did my 5'4" 100-pound wife do? She jumped in our dinghy and set out in hot pursuit, all the while scanning her blackberry for harbor patrol's number. She got through, and the brazen theves were escorted to the hoosegow.

Moral of the story: Buy a security system.
The other moral: Marry a woman crazy enough to chase down fleeing felons

And Now for a Different Kind of Trailer Lock

Many boat owners are trailering thier boats and dinghy's this time of the year. I set out to find what's new and exciting in the category of keeping your trailer secure. For high end security there is the incredible "Tender Tag by Nav Tracker" which I have written about on this blog and posted for availability on the Marine Guard Yacht Security website, but what about plain old trailer locks?

My search did not take long as my November issue of BoatU.S. magazine arrived, and they were showcasing inventive new products that were honored this summer with the "National Marine Manufacturers Association Innovation Awards".

From the "hot tips and news you can use" section of BoatU.S. Magazine- November 2008:

***********************************************************
Stop Trailer Theft

short of storing your trailer boat in a bank vault, there is no 100% foolproof way to prevent boat theft. However, when BoatU.S. member Adam Pappalardo purchased his trailer boat and was looking for a secure hitch coupler lock, he wasn't impressed with what he found, so he invented his own --- The "Trailer Gator."

The Trailer Gator is designed for use when the boat is in storage. A hardened steel frame fits securely around the hitch coupler, locked in place with a coupler lock, preventing the coupler bolts from being removed or trailer ball from being inserted. A shackle guard prevents the use of bolt cutters on the lock.

Pappalardo says it's virtually indestructible and easy to install. Three sizes are available for non-surge brake trailers, starting at $110.00. For more information, go to www.TrailerGator.com

***********************************************************
Final Thoughts.

I'm very happy with the initial impressions of what I see at the website and the thoughtfulness that went into making a better trailer lock. If you have any experience with this product, let us know what you think about it by adding your comment.

Guard Your Tender on a Wireless Leash

Keep Track Of Your Tender With Nav-Tracker 2.0 TenderTAG
400 Foot Range For Unique Wireless Leash

Fort Lauderdale, Florida (USA) – Boat security systems supplier Paradox Marine has introduced Nav-Tracker 2.0 TenderTAG, an enhanced model of its Nav-Tracker 2.0 wireless boat location and GPS tracking system. TenderTAG activates an alarm when a tender is separated from the master craft, which can happen if a tow line breaks, the tender sinks, or it’s stolen.

When a Nav-Tracker 2.0 TenderTAG transmitter is mounted discreetly on a tender, a wireless ‘leash’ with a programmable range from 100 to 400 feet is created. The Nav-Tracker 2.0 receiver on board the boat or yacht will not only alert you if the leash is broken - with the flick of a switch you can also disable the tender’s engine. An additional switch is available to remotely turn on the tender’s navigation lights for night time towing.

Nav-Tracker 2.0 uses Inmarsat based GPS satellite technology to monitor a boat’s location and notify up to four people by email and/or text message every 15 minutes with the latitude/longitude, speed and heading if it is moved outside of a “geo-fence” with a 500-foot radius. The system will also send several daily status reports.

A message from Nav-Tracker 2.0 would look like this:

Winterizing Your Boat

BRRR - It's Almost That Time Again
From: www.boatsafe.com

Unfortunately, the boating season is winding down in many parts of the country and it is time to start thinking about protecting your valuable recreational asset. Winterizing a boat reminds me of the old commercial that says "pay me now or pay me later." The time and effort you spend now will have a definite effect on your boat's performance, or lack of it, and certainly save you time, effort and money come spring. You should remember that your insurance policy may not cover damage done by lack of maintenance or neglect.

The best place for your boat to be during the winter is out of the water, under cover, in a climate-controlled boat storage area. This, however, can be expensive. If don't have this option perhaps you should consider shrink-wrapping your boat. This, too, is a little expensive but provides a very protective cover. Short of these two items, make sure that your boat is well covered with a tarp or some other sturdy cover.

Your first step in winterizing should be to make a checklist of all items that need to be accomplished. Check the owner's manual of your boat and motor(s) for manufacturer's recommendations on winterization. If you are a new boat owner, perhaps you should employ the assistance of a friend with experience in winterizing or hire a professional to do the job. The following is a generic outline of areas which should be of concern to you, however, there are many resources on the Internet with more detailed and specific information.

Inboard Engine(s) - You should run the engine(s) to warm it up and change the oil while it is warm. This tends to allow impurities to be drained away with the oil. You should also change the oil filter(s). Flush the engine(s) with fresh water. You should circulate antifreeze through the manifold by using a pickup hose from the waterpump to a bucket of antifreeze. Start the engine and allow the antifreeze to circulate until water starts to exit the exhaust. This process will vary slightly depending on whether you have a raw water cooling system or an enclosed fresh water cooling system. While you're in the engine room you should also change the fluid in your transmission. Remove spark plugs and use "fogging oil" to spray into each cylinder. Wipe down the engine with a shop towel sprayed with a little fogging oil or WD-40.

Stern Drive(s) - You should thoroughly inspect the stern drive and remove any plant life or barnacles from the lower unit. Drain the gear case and check for excessive moisture in the oil. This could indicate leaking seals and should be repaired. Clean the lower unit with soap and water. If your stern drive has a rubber boot, check it for cracks or pinholes. Grease all fittings and check fluid levels in hydraulic steering or lift pumps. Check with your owner's manual for additional recommendations by the manufacturer.

Outboard Engine(s) - Flush engine with fresh water using flush muffs or similar device attached to the raw water pickup. Let all water drain from the engine. Wash engine down with soap and water and rinse thoroughly. Disconnect fuel hose and run engine until it stops. It is important to follow a step by step process to make sure that all fuel is drained from the carburetor to prevent build-up of deposits from evaporated fuel. Use fogging oil in the cylinders to lubricate the cylinder walls and pistons. Apply water resistant grease to propeller shaft and threads. Change the gear oil in the lower unit. Lightly lubricate the exterior of the engine or polish with a good wax.

Fuel - Fill your fuel tank(s) to avoid a build up of condensation over the winter months. Add a fuel stabilizer by following the instructions on the product. Change the fuel filter(s) and water separator(s).

Bilges - Make sure the bilges are clean and dry. Use soap, hot water and a stiff brush to clean up any oil spills. Once the bilges are clean, spray with a moisture displacing lubricant and add a little antifreeze to prevent any water from freezing.

Fresh Water System - Completely drain the fresh water tank and hot water heater. Isolate the hot water heater by disconnecting the in and out lines and connect them together. Pump a non-toxic antifreeze into the system and turn on all the facets including the shower and any wash-down areas until you see the antifreeze coming out. Also put non-toxic antifreeze in the water heater.

Head - Pump out the holding tank at an approved facility. While pumping, add fresh water to the bowl and flush several times. Use Vanish crystals or whatever your owner's manual recommends that will not harm your system and let sit for a few minutes. Again add fresh water and pump out again. Add antifreeze and pump through hoses, holding tank, y-valve, macerator and discharge hose. Again, check your owners manual to make sure that an alcohol-based antifreeze won't damage your system.

Interior - Once you have taken care of the system you should remove any valuables, electronics, lines, PFD, fire extinguishers, flares, fenders, etc. Over the winter these items can be cleaned, checked and replaced as necessary. Open all drawers and lockers and clean thoroughly. Turn cushions up on edge so that air is able to circulate around them or, better yet, bring them home to a climate controlled area. Open and clean the refrigerator and freezer. To keep your boat dry and mildew-free you might want to install a dehumidifier or use some of the commercially available odor and moisture absorber products such as "No Damp," "Damp Away" or "Sportsman's Mate."

Out of Water Storage - pressure wash hull, clean barnacles off props and shafts, rudders, struts and trim tabs. Clean all thru-hulls and strainers. Open seacocks to allow any water to drain. Check the hull for blisters and if you find any that should be attended to you might want to open them to drain over the winter. While you're at it, why not give the hull a good wax job? It is probably best to take the batteries out of the boat and take them home and either put them on a trickle charger or charge them every 30-60 days.

In Water Storage - Close all seacocks and check rudder shafts and stuffing boxes for leaks, tighten or repack as necessary. Check your battery to make sure it is fully charged, clean terminals, add water if necessary and make sure your charging system is working. Check bilge pumps to ensure they are working and that float switches properly activate the pumps and that they are not hindered by debris. Make sure either to check your boat periodically or have the marina check it and report to you. If in an area where the water you are docked or moored in actually freezes, you should have a de-icing device or bubbling system around your boat.

By following some of the above suggestions, and suggestions given from the links provided, you should be in good shape for the winter. Do not, however, neglect to consult your owner's manuals for manufacture's recommendations on winterizing your boat and other systems. If you have not done a winterization job before or don't have an experienced friend to rely on seek out a professional to do the job for you.

Marine Guard Quality Boat Alarm System

When we looked for a hardwired system to serve in the marine environment, we were shocked at how many modified home security systems were being marketed as marine systems. The Marine Guard system and equipment was developed ground up specifically for and with a deep understanding of what the marine environment is. From its NMEA III enclosure to its potted and epoxy coated components, it is precisely what is needed to protect and watch over your vessel in your absence.

The manufacturer of the system Sure Action Inc. is the inventor of the deck sensor, a small pressure sensor that is hidden under decks and ladders. The deck sensor is immune to birds, sun, rain, the rocking of the boat and the boat banging against the dock. They are the only motion detection device of its kind in the industry. The deck sensors are used in pairs to balance the system. Three different pulsars are manufactured specifically for fiberglass decks, wood decks & all gunwales and steel/aluminum decks. The control has a 24 hr bilge zone, (2 or 4) dedicated deck sensor zones and (3 )additional hardwired zones for any other normally open security and supervisory equipment you would like to add to your system.

The MG58 can handle up to (8) eight deck sensors and the MG54 handles up to (4) four deck sensors. Each control comes with (1) Outdoor Siren, a (4) channel wireless receiver, (2) keychain remotes for arming and disarming, (1) chime-plate with on / off switch to announce visitors and (2) LED’s for alarm status. Most of our packages include (2) to (4) deck sensors and (2) contacts as well.

Add a contact to doors and hatches to the interior for additional perimeter protection. The contacts come in four different styles. (Large) for wide gap hatches, (Small) for tight door protection, (Recessed) for hidden contacts and (wireless) for areas that you can’t get a wire to.

Add an optional Bilge Sensor & Sounder for high water detection.

Add an optional Pet Immune Dual Technology Passive Infrared Motion Detector for high security interior applications.

Add an optional Photo Electric Beam for applications where you can’t get pulsor’s under the decks of an uncovered fly-bridge, that you want to be protected.

You can use your system as a stand alone local system or you can add a Marine Guard Monitoring device to give you 24/7 contact with your boats security and supervisory devices.

For boats that are restricted to inland waters or will always be in a cell coverage area, the Marine Guard Cellular Communicator works with a prepaid SIM card. It will send a report to your e-mail and text your cell phone on any violation.

For everywhere in the world coverage, you would add the Marine Guard Satellite Transponder. This device will bounce any violation signal off of a satellite to your e-mail and cell phone.

You will be able to set a Geo-Fence (Virtual Fence) around your boat with either of these reporting systems from your computer. If the boat moves out of your Geo-Fence you will be alerted immediately. You will than have the ability to track your vessels location, speed and heading from any computer.

There is a monthly fee to monitor these devices based on what frequencies of reports you want. The basic package is (1) one report daily and during every violation. You can choose to receive a report up to hourly for high security applications. Examples of the monitoring packages are listed on our “Services” page.

There is also a monitoring central station option for the owner that needs a professional operator to receive and dispatch assigned responders to alarms and supervisory conditions.

There is nothing more dependable than a hardwired system that is designed just for the marine environment. Many boat owners are capable of doing installations themselves and they will find the Marine Guard System to be straight forward and easy to install. For those that prefer professional installation, you will find that any marine electronics installer has the skills to install your system.
