THE IMPORTANCE OF SAFETY WHEN YOU LIVE ABOARD YOUR BOAT

 

A boat is an intricate vessel and while it can lend itself to a wonderful lifestyle, it’s imperative to prepare, organize and have a plan before moving on board full-time. Before you commit to living aboard your boat, it’s important you make a commitment to safety as well.

  • Safety First  

Whether you enjoy boating as a pastime or commit to the full lifestyle, safety should always come first. Your boat should be equipped with CO2 and smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, first aid kits, and personal flotation devices.

  • Essential Preparations
Moving from a home or apartment to a boat takes a lot of organization. Keep in mind that space is limited – closets, cabinets and drawers are a fraction of the size you are used to.
  • Costs
Living on a boat doesn’t necessarily mean your cost of living will be cheaper. Some of the expenses you will incur including boat mortgage payment, boat insurance, slip fees, maintenance, gas, waste management, food and water. You may also need to consider WiFi connectivity as well as cable/satellite TV.

  • Radar – With good radar, you can be aware of weather conditions. This information is important to maintain complete safety over water.
  • Fish-Fighting Chair – When a giant fish bites, you need to be ready with the right equipment, including a fish-fighting chair. This provides you the most effective leverage to pull in your trophy.
  • Garmin Display Screens – Garmin featured some of the finest display screens for boats. When you add this technology to your boat, you will have all the information about the condition of the water in an organized and easy form.
  • Stabilizer System – Being on the open ocean can cause your boat to rock and sway, which can cause sea overflow. To resolve this issue, a stabilizer system will be installed on your boat, decreasing rocking and increasing comfort. If you’re heading into the open ocean, ensure you’ve got a stabilizer system.

Retrofit with A SmartPlug to Enhance Safety and Save Money | Boat accessories

For boat owners with shore power connections, the part that’s the biggest potential problem is the easiest to change: an outdated twist-type connector. With a Retrofit Kit from SmartPlug Systems,it’s fast and simple to upgrade to the safest and most thoroughly modern 30A or 50A marine power supply equipment available, while reusing the cable and saving money.

Traditional twist-type shore power plugs have thin blades with very little metal-to-metal contact, resulting in a poor electrical connection. Over time, corrosion further degrades this contact. This causes high resistance, resulting in overheating and the potential for arcing and fire. The revolutionary SmartPlug is different. Its robust pin and clip design provides over 20 times more contact area to make it the safest solution available.

Far easier to use than clumsy twist-type connectors that require aligning an L blade and threading a locking collar, the waterproof SmartPlug pushes straight in. Its asymmetrical design makes it foolproof to use, even one-handed in dimly-lit conditions and difficult inlet positioning. A four-point locking system ensures the plug stays connected, no matter the strain due to wind, wave or boat movement.

Installing a SmartPlug Retrofit Kit is an easy DIY project with common household tools. The boat side has the same cutout and mounting hole pattern as twist-type inlets; a video is at youtu.be/M7MPd8Cd7dg. The plug is equally simple to install; a video is at youtu.be/9IcbCUKfy9s. The kit includes a black, white, grey or stainless steel inlet and connector.
