Keeping Your Cool With A/CWe recommend units with digital controls. Of those, we prefer the Cruisair SMX system with its remote temperature sensor. Varnish Exposure Test We brushed 20 different brands on teak panels and put them out in the weather. Interlux Jet Speed and Schooner, and Pettit Captains lead the way after six months.û Our 10th Annual Bottom Paint Test Micron Optima is best at preventing hard and soft growth on hulls, but its short pot life makes runners-up Trinidad SR, ACP Ultima and Micron CSC Extra also look good. Trim Tabs: Trim Master, Bennett Lead the Way In a bench test, we rate quality of components, design, and ease of installation and operation. In the end, Trim Master's lifetime warranty pushes it ahead of the pack. Regulator 32: Cuts Like a Knife Long, lean and fast, this big center console can slice and dice with the best, but its foamed-in aluminum fuel tank makes an inspection or removal laborious or costly. Good News? Genmar Buys OMC Boats, Bombardier Buys Evinrude, Johnson The recent $95 million acquisition of the bankrupt Outboard Marine Corp. by two big marine industry players at least gives us some hope that warranties will be honored.û | |||||
