Discount Marine Electronics Enhance Safety at Sea

When it comes to recreational boating there is a wide range of marine electronics to choose from that enhance your prospects of returning safely to shore with a large catch on board. Most marine electronics come in a variety of sizes, strengths and wavelengths to fit all boats big and small but before you buy consider the various overlapping features and consolidate functionality and cost as much as possible.  Here's a quick overview of some of the most useful marine electronics available at discount prices:

Fishfinders
Fishfinders use sonar technology (sound waves) to probe the waters around and below your boat and provide you a snapshot of where there are accumulations of fish and relative indications of their size. If fishing is your passion, this is functional marine electronics at its best. Fishfinders come in several configurations suited to trawling shallow waters or going deep.  They are often included as part of a discounted marine electronics  multifunction combos.

GPS Fish Finder Combos
As their name suggests, these handy marine electronics combine the best fish finding power with GPS accuracy. If you don't already have a GPS on board this is a good way to get one. One of the biggest advantages is that when you figure out where the fish are you can set a waypoint and plot a route making it easy to return to the same spot over again.

Chart Plotters
Chart plotters are among the most useful and sought out discount marine electronics because they combine GPS with electronic navigational charts (ENCs) for accurate navigation on inland lakes, along the coast and out at sea.  Finding one good chart plotter/fishfinder combo could be all the weekend mariner all the marine electronics he needs to make life on the water fun and convenient.

Radars
Radar uses electromagnetic wave pulses to locate objects in the dark, in the fog and in the rain.  The primary purpose for using radar is collision avoidance with other vessels or objects that might be hard to see.  Radars are sold alone or in combination with other discount marine electronics, such as fishfinders and chart plotters.

Searchlights
Search lights use high watt directed halogen beams for putting the spotlight on safety. Invaluable in search and rescue efforts but also a big bonus when you have to effect a mooring or negotiate a drawbridge in the dark.

Satellite Phones
Satellite Phones, such as an Iridium phone are without doubt a luxury item when it comes to marine electronics even if you buy one at a discount store. However, for the serious seafarer, they offer communication assurance beyond comparison. These rugged phones work when your cell phone doesn't get a signal and your radio is down due to bad weather.

Marine electronics can chew a big hole in your budget if you're not careful but figuring out what devices you really need and what you can live without will allow you to maximize your marine electronics dollars and enhance your boating experience in the best possible way.

Yeoman Plotter $78.07 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Yeoman Plotter is a plotter used on ships and boats, which allows GPS and radar navigation data to be used much more effectively with traditional paper charts. It is a unique piece of navigational aid in that it allows the navigation with electronic aids, and also allows the continued navigation when the electronics fail (by using the maps and manual plotting instead). The plotter consists of a plotting surface impregnated with fine wires and a moveable mouse containing a sensing ring. The mouses location on the surface can be read by the system at all times. To use the plotter, a conventional chart is first fixed in position on the surface (the method of fixing varies between the different models of plotter; see below). It is then registered the mouse is placed over three known points on the chart and a button pressed at each. Knowing the location on the surface of these points, the system can interpolate the mouses position anywhere on the chart. Many charts now have plotter reference points printed on them, and the coordinates of these points are preprogrammed in the Yeoman unit, but this is not essential.

Essential Boat Radar $15.4 From the basic principles through to more in-depth expertise, Essential Boat Radar is your no-nonsense introduction to radar. It guides you into the subject by providing sufficient information to understand what's going on, proceeding directly with basic radar use. Bill Johnson clearly explains what radar is, outlining what is does and doesn't do. He describes how to make simple adjustments to get a decent picture, and explores how to use the basic radar. This is followed by greater information on the various confusions and anomalies that the picture can present, progressing to the more complex functionality of a modern digital (raster) set. Finally, you learn the key elements to consider when choosing a radar system for your boat, and also how to install it. Essential Boat Radar includes: full explanation of what radar does, and how it does it how to use radar for collision avoidance, with reference to the relevant COLREGS how to use radar for navigation and pilotage practical exercises for using radar detail on related subjects, such as: AIS, radar reflectors guidance on choosing and installing radar systems

Radar Companion $3.95 These splashproof cards take the mystery out of using radar on a small boat for navigation and collision avoidance. A radar screen in the cockpit is the most useful tool for navigation. It can show you the land and approaching boats in daylight, in darkness and in fog. And, combined with GPS, it can show you your position and destination relative to the land as a 'birds eye view'. Pat Manley concentrates on using the controls to get the best picture, then explains how to understand the display and gives plenty of examples of radar plots.

Radar for Mariners $15.19 Become an Expert Small-Craft Radar Operator Nothing beats radar for guiding your boat through the darkest night or the thickest fog. Radar enables you to plot a fix from just a single buoy or landmark, and it is the only navigation tool that tells you not just where you are, but who else or what else is out there with you. Today's smaller, affordable, more powerful radars make more sense than ever for sailors and powerboaters. This complete, in-depth manual shows you how to: Choose the best radar model for your sail- or powerboat Install, adjust, and operate your system Interpret the images on your radar screen Pilot your boat and track the movements of vessels around you Use radar to track and avoid squalls, to outmaneuver competitors in a yacht race, and for other specialized tasks Interface your radar with a digital compass, GPS, or electronic chart "Radar for Mariners" comes with a Radar Resources CD-ROM that includes a "field guide" to screen and target images, plotting sheets for printing, an e-book copy of the complete "Navigation Rules," sample radar manuals, and more. It also includes a free trial version (30-day period) of the Starpath Radar Trainer simulator, plus an encrypted copy of the Full Radar Trainer you can purchase at a discount nearly equal to the price of this book (See the enclosed CD-ROM for details.) Praise for David Burch's "Emergency Navigation: " "A standout from the otherwise faceless navigation texts that pass through our offices. Anyone venturing offshore should read this book thoroughly."--"Yachting" Praise for David Burch's Radar Trainer navigation program: "The Starpath Radar Trainer course is excellent It is comprehensive and thorough . . . I would not hesitate to recommend it. . . . Any skipper can profit by using this course."--Elbert S. "Mack" Maloney, author of "Chapman Piloting & Seamanship"

The Adlard Coles Book of Radar $25.38 Radar is notoriously tricky to operate and 'read' correctly for collision avoidance either with the land or with other vessels. But used by an informed operator it is an immensely valuable navigation tool - especially in poor visibility. GPS will tell you where you are, but it won't tell you if there's another boat in that spot Rather than taking a theoretical, academic approach, this book is highly practical and hands on - complementing the radar owner's manual and explaining what the operator really needs to know when faced with actual situations at sea. Packed with illustrative photos, charts and radar screen shots, this book gives guidance from a real life, on-the-water perspective, and will enable readers to solve problems immediately.
