Through-Hull Camera By Underwater Lights

Aug 2, 2004

I've seen through-hull underwater lights before, and from the same supplier (Underwater Lights USA & E-Fish TV) there is now a through-hull underwater video solution. Streaming right to your LCD screen in de salon so you don't have to dive in order to enjoy great marine life...

"This $1,835 waterproof camera from Underwater Lights USA can be set up for any zoom angle from 35 to 70 degrees and can send broadcast-quality, 470-line-resolution output to any number of monitors (in NTSC or PAL formats). Three and three quarters inches long with a diameter of 13'4", it fits in any of the company�s underwater light housings for steel, aluminum, or fiberglass hulls and thus is serviceable from inside the yacht."

Added Security For Marine Electronics

Aug 2, 2004

Unfortunately, and I can speak from personal experience, theft of marine electronics is a big problem. So hereby I welcome any good solution, especially when it's a relatively simple one...

"But, by using one of DuraSafe's new GPS/Depth Finder Locks, you can thwart a thief's attempt to make off with your valuable electronics. The DuraSafe Lock replaces one of the standard knobs that attach a GPS, depthsounder or VHF radio to its bracket. There are seven different versions to fit the different knob thread sizes used by major manufacturers of marine electronics, such as Raymarine, Lowrance, Eagle, Garmin, Humminbird, Navman and Furuno."
