Fuel System Lock Helps Prevent Theft
Like other valuables, doesn’t it seem reasonable that fuel tanks should be kept under lock and key?
Perko makes it easy to retrofit a sturdy locking mechanism in the majority of their 1-1/2″ vented and non-vented fills. The black plastic 0525 Fuel System Locking Insert comes with a high-strength zinc alloy lock cylinder. When slid into the fill, spring action retracts the cams, which then lock onto the hose bib once the device is fully inserted. A handy dual purpose key opens the protective metal fill cap and operates the lock. Installation is easy, usually with no tools.
Removing the 0525 is simple.

Every Boat Deserves Proper Running Lights
If you were to check the running lights on every boat in your marina, we bet you would find that many have defective lights. The stern light is often the problem as lines and people snag or grab them. They’re often stowed to save space and eliminate visual obstruction. Rather than removing them, where they can be lost or damaged, Perko’s Fold Down White All-Round Lights simply fold out of the way.
The lights are certified for use on sail or power vessels under 65.6′. Perko’s designs include options with either a white translucent globe, or reduced-glare versions with a frosted globe or a black plastic top and clear fluted lens.

Gill i5 Headwind Jacket is a Revolution in Temperature Management
A revolutionary step forward in temperature management, the i5 Headwind Jacket is a dynamic mid-layer product that uses innovative “Thermal gate” technology to keep the user in the comfort zone. This is not an evolutionary step by Gill in body temperature management but, a whole new technology in the marine market.
The thermal ‘gates’, or micro-spaces, in between fibers in the i5 Headwind Jacket create a dynamic structure, and ‘close up’ when colder to achieve maximum thermal efficiency, and ‘open’ when warmer to allow excess heat to escape.
