Marine Electronics From Island Marine
Greetings!
I want to personally thank everyone who stopped by to visit us at the Stuart, Florida boat show. It was a pleasure to meet new people and reunite with friends and customers. We were fortunate to have representatives from Furuno, Raymarine, KVH, FLIR, Seatel, Wave Wifi, and KEP Marine to help provide support to our visitors.
Get ready for spring! We've had some of the coldest weather on record and even some snow flurries. Sailfish season is winding down after an action packed season with exciting tournaments and superb fishing. It won't be cold for long and now is the time to gear up for spring.
Now is the time to take advantage of boat show discounts on marine electronics. Several manufacturers are providing reduced prices and very attractive rebates. We can provide an additional 5% off of most equipment purchased during the time of the Miami Boat show.
The Miami show is easy to attend with interstate travel speeds all the way to South Beach. Manufacturers use the Miami show to launch their new products. There are a lot of new exciting products from Furuno, KVH, FLIR, Raymarine, and Garmin.
The Miami Boat Show runs from Feb. 11th through the 15th.
We will not be displaying at the Miami show, but I will be in attendance. Give me a call while you are there and I can meet you in the electronics room in the Convention Center. 1-772-468-9231

 AIS TRAFFIC WEBSITE
Visit www.marinetraffic.com to view live vessel traffic equipped with AIS Transponders. View the traffic on Google Earth Maps. (Very Cool)
AIS OVERVIEW What is the Automatic Identification System (AIS)?
Picture a shipboard radar display, with overlaid electronic chart data, that includes a mark for every significant ship within radio range, each as desired with a velocity vector (indicating speed and heading). Each ship "mark" could reflect the actual size of the ship, with position to GPS or differential GPS accuracy. By "clicking" on a ship mark, you could learn the ship name, course and speed, classification, call sign, registration number, MMSI, and other information. Maneuvering information, closest point of approach (CPA), time to closest point of approach (TCPA) and other navigation information, more accurate and more timely than information available from an automatic radar plotting aid, could also be available. Display information previously available only to modern Vessel Traffic Service operations centers could now be available to every AIS-equipped ship.
With this information, you could call any ship over VHF radiotelephone by name, rather than by "ship off my port bow" or some other imprecise means. Or you could dial it up directly using GMDSS equipment. Or you could send to the ship, or receive from it, short safety-related email messages.
The AIS is a shipboard broadcast system that acts like a transponder, operating in the VHF maritime band, that is capable of handling well over 4,500 reports per minute and updates as often as every two seconds. It uses Self-Organizing Time Division Multiple Access (SOTDMA) technology to meet this high broadcast rate and ensure reliable ship-to-ship operation.
Most modern Marine navigation displays can display AIS data. Ask us how? |

 DEEP SEA POWER & LIGHT's ON-HULL SEALITES
These lights are brighter than the Ocean LED Amphibians and are much more robust.
$800 Each Plus Low Cost Installation
12 LED On-Hull SeaLite®
Finally, a high quality surface mount underwater boat light that does not require any compromises. The 12 LED On-Hull SeaLite® was created for boat owners that want to dramatically illuminate the water behind their boat, without installing a fitting through the transom. Engineered to be extremely rugged and reliable, this unit provides incredible light output in a compact, cost effective package. All of the electronics are integrated into the watertight housing, requiring only a small ½" hole through the transom for the power cable. Thermal compensation circuitry automatically regulates the temperature of the LEDs, allowing them to operate in water or air. The 12 LED On-Hull SeaLite® has special circuitry that allows it to double as a fish attracting strobe light with the flick of a switch and also includes an exclusive dimming feature so you can set the perfect mood. With an ultra long life, the 12 LED On-Hull SeaLite® requires no bulb maintenance!
The 12 LED On-Hull SeaLite® provides the peace of mind in knowing that it was designed by a company with over 25 years experience manufacturing underwater lights for deep diving submersibles, offshore oil and commercial divers.
