Other Preferred Product Worth Considering

TideSlide offers trusted mooring solutions for marinas and private docks throughout the U.S. Their engineered system allows boats to rise and fall with the tide smoothly and safely, reducing shock loads on lines and hardware.

ElectroSea ElectroStrainer

Clogged strainers, fouled lines, and leaking raw-water pumps are headaches every boater knows too well--leading to lost cooling, emergency repairs, and mounting maintenance costs. ElectroSea's ElectroStrainer system solves these problems at the source by preventing marine growth before it enters your cooling system, while their SeaStrong magnetic-drive pumps eliminate traditional leak-prone seals and offer industry-leading run-dry protection. Together, they provide a cleaner, safer, and far more reliable approach to seawater management. Learn more about this Waterway Guide Preferred Product here.
