Infrared ThermometersLike to do your own maintenance? You’ve got to get one of these clever gadgets that let you monitor engines, electrical components, and anything else with varying temperature. Outboard Engine Locks Among the bar-type locks, we like the Islander Outboard Motor Lock for corrosion resistance, routine theft prevention and good looks. For really robust security, go with the Stazo SmartLock. Waterline Stain Removers Aurora tested best. Y-10 and FSR earn runners-up honors. Networked Systems: Furuno vs. Raymarine Two big names go head to head. Both finish with identical ratings, but Raymarine squeaks past Furuno with a better warranty. Baitwell Pumps Rule and Shurflo’s Piranha rank one-two in a test of 700- to 800-GPH pumps. Big, Clean Outboards Two new 250-hp engines hit the water. The Yamaha runs quieter at idle, but louder at WOT. Both burned equal amounts at full throttle. Compact Cruisers The Four Winns 248 Vista gets the thumbs up among the pricier boats, while the Bayliner 245 edges the Glastron in the “more affordable” category. | |||||
