Fillet KnivesThe Dexter Russell prevails again with a perfect balance of strength, sharpness, and flexibility. Water Spot Removers Try vinegar and water first. If that doesn’t work, we’d go with Star brite or Meguiar’s. Steering Compasses For a larger compass, the $200 Plastimo is a good buy. For a smaller model, go with a Ritchie or Danforth. Fire Extinguishers The Kidde Pro Plus 5HM is our top choice among the clean-agent portables. The Sea-Fire makes sense for boats with enclosed helms. We also like the Kidde Spray Foam’s ability to stop re-ignition. Fixed-Mount VHF Radios Better basic transceiver and audio performance push the Icom M302 past more full-featured competitors in this test of units under $160. The Standard Horizon Quest finishes a strong second. Pursuit 3480 Pursuit jumps into the big center console market with the 3480, which boasts an excellent rough-water ride. It needs a few modifications at the helm and on deck, however, and the fuel tanks are encased in moisture-trapping foam. | |||||
