Seattle Boat ShowThe Seattle Boat Show, Indoors & Afloat, is known far and wide for the quantity, quality and variety of its free boating and fishing seminars. For the 2019 show, there will be more than 200 free seminars on everything from Wi-Fi in the wilderness to boat and engine maintenance, and advanced seminars for a fee through Boat Show University.  On the fishing and crabbing stage there will be 78 fishing seminars (up from 55 last year) by the Northwest's top-notch fishing experts. Whether it’s learning to mooch, learning dirty downrigger techniques, mastering kayak fishing, or learning about San Juan Islands salmon secrets, the Seattle Boat Show is the place to be, Friday Jan. 25 through Saturday Feb. 2, 2019.
 
“Every year we work hard to make sure that the presenters are remarkable, and this year is no exception— we have an all-star line-up covering the entire state and all kinds of fishing from tuna off the coast to kokanee and walleye in central and eastern Washington, lingcod and salmon in Puget Sound and springers on the Columbia,” says Mark Yuasa, director of Grow Boating Programs/NW Salmon Derby Series for the Northwest Marine Trade Association. “There is no better way for an angler to improve his or her success on the water than investing in an hour or two at one of the show’s seminars.”  
 
All seminars take place at CenturyLink Field Event Center. The complete schedule of seminars can be viewed at www.SeattleBoatShow.com/seminars. The schedule is searchable by type, topic, date, stage and key word, making it easy for attendees to research and plan their show visits.
 
New presenters for 2019 include:

·         Mike Surdyk, the Northwest Regional Sales Manager for Raymarine Electronics. Surdyk truly believes that having great electronics and a firm understanding of how they work, will create better opportunities to catch fish. He’ll share his tips on how to maximize your electronics to target trophy fish.

Northwest Salmon Derby Series:

It is also fully rigged with Scotty Downriggers; Raymarine Electronics; WhoDat Towers; and a Dual Electronics Stereo and valued at $75,000.
 
The Northwest Salmon Derby Series is heading into the 16th season and has grown from six derbies in 2004 to fifteen in 2019. When an angler purchases a derby ticket to any of the 15 derbies, they are automatically entered in the drawing for the grand prize boat, which will take place at the conclusion of the Everett Derby in September 2019. If an angler enters all 15 derbies, the angler's name will be entered 15 times into the drawing.

Electric Boat

The 10th edition of the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge (MEBC) has wrapped up at the Yacht Club de Monaco (YCM) and it gives a compelling look at the future of electric boating.

The MEBC was started in 2014 as a competition between university teams who built and raced boats powered only by solar power and batteries. To encourage more participation from institutions that may not have naval architecture or boat construction expertise, the YCM introduced the Energy Class competition. The club supplies the student teams with the same one-design catamaran hull, and each team adds their own cockpit and propulsion system that can be powered by any renewable alternative energy sources, not just solar.

Questus Radar Mount

Questus Marine patented, Self-Leveling Radar Mounts automatically keep radar antennas level with the horizon, eliminating target loss.

Regardless of the angle of heel, with a Questus mount, a radar antenna will pick up targets to either side of a vessel, rather than aiming to the sky and water (for planes and fish). The Questus Marine Self-Leveling Radar Mount can be installed in three basic configurations: backstay mount, mast mount or Stern Pole mount.
