Lowtide Dependable light goes a long way
to ensure safety, security and comfort, but because of limited battery capacity on vessels, minimal power draw is a must. Requiring a miniscule 0.11 amp, Mega-Lights can run 12 hours on one amp-hour of 12V power. Capable of operating continuously

The Micro Lantern is a tealight lantern that also collapses for compact storage just like the Original Candle Lantern.

This allows you to carry enough tealights for 6-8 hours of light, with each UCO Tealight Candle providing a 3-4 hour burn time. Including the two tealight candles, the Micro Lantern weighs a mere 4.2 ounces. Has a chain and hook to hang in the cockpit or in the saloon. The new Micro Lantern is available in
Aluminum, Red, Green, Blue, Purple, Orange, and Yellow. For more information visit

finding and mounting a spare VHF antenna can make all the difference. The 5910 Emergency Stowable Antenna from Shakespeare Electronic Products Group is easy to spot, grab, and connect, helping save valuable minutes. A 9" bright yellow, metal tube helps protect the antenna during storage and becomes part of the mounting system. It hangs neatly on a bulkhead, or wherever it's accessible yet out of the way. Pre- installing the included mounting clip helps prepare the antenna for use. In an emergency, the user simply removes the cable and flexible whip from the tube, mounts the antenna securely on top, and then slides the tube onto the mounting clip. After assembly, the antenna is 16" long. The dependable VHF whip comes with 20' of RG-174 mini coax cable and a pre-installed PL-259 connector.
