Livebait Nets: Scoop Up an AdventureAdventure Products’ All Purpose Extend-a-Net is our top pick for its large capacity, long handle, and low price. Best Buy: the Adventure Floating Net. Vinyl Cleaners: Marine Spray Nine Prevails In a 10-product test, Marine Spray Nine and 3M Marine Outdoor Vinyl Cleaner worked best. But the Spray Nine is cheaper and easier to work with. DC Electrical Distribution Panels: Blue Sea All the Way Blue Sea, with its excellent warranty, intuitive labeling, and bright night lighting, is our choice for an accessory DC panel. Newmar’s panels are easy to work with, but need better lighting. E-TEC Powerhead Replaced At just over 100 hours, the port engine began rattling and vibrating slightly at idle. Bombardier isn’t calling it an engine failure, but the company did opt to replace the powerhead. Under $1,000 Windlasses: Maxwell Victorious Again Maxwell’s new HRC 8 horizontal windlass speeds past the competition and garners our top pick. Quick’s Crystal 1000 vertical is the choice when power is more important than speed. Defiant 270 TC Cat This speedy center console is built with yacht-like fit and finish and attention to detail. We’ve driven smoother-riding cats, however. | |||||
