Electric Shock Drowning - the invisible hazard in the water
Why is swimming not allowed at marinas?
Most people assume this is to prevent swimmers from being injured or killed by boats. But there’s also another invisible hazard, electric shock. Electric shock drowning happens when electric current leaks into a surrounding body of water and the water becomes energized. If someone enters that area of water, he or she could lose muscle control and be unable to swim to safety or call for help.
Power boats with faulty electrical wiring that are connected to shore power may cause the water to become energized.

With Snap Stick, zippers and snaps work smoother
Words of exasperation wafting across a marina often signal a boat owner fighting with a jammed zipper or snap that won't catch. This frustrating situation is simple to avoid by using Snap Stick from Shurhold. Made in the USA, the easy-to-apply lubricant keeps marine fittings working smoothly for up to three months and reduces stress levels around the docks.
A unique, wax-like formula, Snap Stick lubricates and protects plastic and metal snaps, zippers, hinges and other small hardware from the effects of harsh marine environment exposure. Unscented, non-toxic and biodegradable, it won't harm fabrics and other boat surfaces. Non-soluble, it doesn't rinse off when exposed to rain and spray, or boat washing.
