$1000 of Flir M232 Thermal Cameras
The FLIR M200 series thermal camera is a Pan and Tilt thermal IP camera which turns night to day, keeping you safe when on the water.
The M232 can be used to identify objects in the water with different thermal footprints such as debris, vessels, buoys, people or substances like oil in and on the water. One of the added advantages of having thermal imaging is the ability to visualise significant sea temperature breaks and birds on the water that can otherwise be missed by radar.

EYE ON THE BOAT
Raymarine’s new CAM300 mini day-night IP camera is a compact, high definition, fully waterproof camera that transforms an Axiom MFD display into a powerful onboard video observation system.
The new CAM300 is 40% smaller and is a wider field-of-view visible camera than its predecessors. It is also equipped with an HD video sensor that can be used to monitor blind spots or check in on the crew.
The CAM300 can also be combined with an AR200 sensor to enable ClearCruise Augmented Reality, a user experience that overlays AIS targets, waypoints and chart objects directly onto an Axiom high-definition video display.
Rated IP66, the CAM300 is easy to install with either a direct 12-volt connection or a single Power over Ethernet (POE) cable. The reduced footprint means there are more options about where it can be mounted.
The CAM300’s 3MP CMOS sensor ensures up to 1080p resolution with users able to view up to four CAM300 video streams simultaneously on single Axiom display.
Built-in infrared emitters deliver excellent near-field low light visibility up to 10m.

HydraCell Power
HydraCell is a water-activated oxygen fuel cell that offers long shelf life, extended usage times, lower operational costs. It operates and is disposed of without toxic emissions.
The HydraCell technology comes in two forms – a dip cell (dip in water) and a water reservoir (pour in water).
The HydraCell Battery Fuel Cell has many advantages over other technologies, particularly traditional dry-cell (carbon, alkaline and lithium) batteries, and kerosene, including:
- Lightweight making them perfect for all outdoor use
- Extended use time: Generates its own power when activated, ensuring long use times and up to x10 times the traditional battery
- Virtually infinite life: A long shelf life before activation.
- Environmentally friendly: The natural minerals and materials in the HydraCell fuel cell ensure there is no soil contamination in landfill (traditional batteries leak chemicals into the earth for decades) and the outer casing is fully recyclable.

Mercury Verado V10
Mercury Marine, a division of Brunswick Corporation (NYSE: BC), has introduced the industry’s first ever V10 outboard with the official launch of its all-new 5.7L 350 and 400hp Verado® outboard engines.
Consistent with the award-winning Verado brand, the new V10 engines are the quietest and smoothest in their class, running 45 percent quieter than a leading competitor at cruise. In addition to noise vibration harshness (NVH), the new Verados are compatible with the latest Mercury SmartCraft® technologies.
“The all-new Mercury V10 Verado outboards are exactly what boaters have been asking for in a 350 and 400hp platform,” said Chris Drees, Mercury Marine President.
“They are powerful, smooth and quiet. They have many of the same fuel efficiency-enhancing features that are synonymous with our high-horsepower line-up.
“They also deliver the same kind of premium boating experience that has made Verado outboards legendary. The V10 Verado outboards solidify Mercury’s leadership position in the high-horsepower outboard market.”
The V10 Verado outboards leverage many of the same market-leading features and technologies boaters love about the company’s popular V12, V8 and V6 platforms. The new V10 includes premium refinements and versatility for a wide range of applications, from large saltwater centre consoles to single-engine freshwater fishing boats to pontoons and smaller centre-consoles.
Weighing only 316 kilograms and with the same industry-leading 26-inch mount spacing as the V8 outboards, the V10 engines maximise compatibility with current boat designs. This lightweight, compact design provides the performance boaters are looking for and makes them perfect for multi-engine applications or repowering vessels.
Mercury Australia and New Zealand will introduce the new V10 Verado in the region from April 2023.
The full story and pictures of the launch, will appear in Boating NZ's January 2023 edition.
SKINNY LEGS ‘N ALL
Retractable cleats enhance functionality and safety of any boat, but may not fit on some decks. Slim-Line Cleats from Accon Marine offer pull-up operation in a strong but sleek profile suited for places with limited clearance.

Accon Slim-Line Cleats come in 114mm, 152mm, 203mm or 254mm sizes —with svelte overall widths of 33mm up to 71mm among the range.
In independent testing the 152mm model was shown to withstand loads of up to 2,132kg.
