Testimonials

JD Yachts were an excellent agent in the sale and purchase of our boats from day one. They worked hard to secure the deal and went out of their way to keep us up to date on the status of the transactions; they were prepared to call out of hours and put extra time in whenever necessary. The purchase of our new boat was far from straightforward, but we felt thoroughly supported by JD Yachts throughout the process. Would highly recommend JD Yachts should you want an agent who goes the extra mile to facilitate the sale of your boat. Mr & Mrs A, Eclipse

I had her with a number of brokers initially, but decided on one broker from August this year. That broker was JD Yachts. With all the broker bashing that goes on I am extremely pleased with ALL aspects of their involvement. At survey time, a couple of issues were raised which they arranged on the spot – outstanding service. They were a pleasure to deal with. Thanks JD! Mr B, Nauti Secrets.

Wireless marine camera enhances boat security

Wireless-marine-camera-enhances-boat-security

Garmin International has introduced a wireless camera solution designed for mariners who want to keep an eye on areas inside or around their boat.

The GC 100 marine camera features a compact footprint with a discreet weatherproof design which streams high-quality 720p HD video to display directly on a compatible chartplotter on the same network.

It’s adaptable for installation almost anywhere, inside and out, and even in total darkness like an engine room. Hardwired for power,

The camera is ready to use with one-button setup and can be paired with the chartplotter, with the ability to view up to four camera feeds simultaneously.

Scanning sonar

Garmin has also launched a new live scanning sonar for recreational fishing called the Panoptix LiveScope.

The live scanning sonar gives anglers higher resolution and easier-to-interpret images of structure, bait and fish so precise that it’s even possible to distinguish between species.

Like other Garmin Panoptix transducers, LiveScope features two modes in one transducer –LiveScope Down and LiveScope Forward which are interchangeable depending on the angler’s fishing preferences and techniques.

LiveScope is also equipped with an attitude heading reference system (AHRS) that constantly adjusts sonar beams to compensate for boat motion, so even in rough conditions, anglers can see a steady sonar image.
