PRIDE MARINE MONTHLY (April Issue) 1 April 2010 
THE APRIL BLOW-BY-BLOW
 
Greetings!   Spring is Here!
 
As you can see, the Spring inventory is rolling in - we now have more in stock than ever before!
 
Once again, thanks for supporting 'the little guy'. Don't be April-fooled by the big chain stores; their "sale" prices might get you in the door, but you'll pay far less at Pride Marine for your everyday purchases and special-order items.
 
Give us a call, shop online, or come on by!
Choosing an Inflatable PFD/Lifejacket
 
Mustang PFDInflatable PFDs are growing in popularity. They're sleek, stylish and you can totally forget you've got one on. Safe boating just got cooler.
 
But when you're ready to buy, it can get confusing: Manual or Auto? Salt tab or Hydrostatic? Harness? Lift? Hood? Wait, what?!
 
We've made it easier. Check out our "Choosing a PFD" 3-step chart.
Product Spotlight: Wear and Tear Pads!
 
Wear and Tear Pad
Nobody likes chafe; it shortens the life of your lines and creates unsightly gouges in the deck. Consider Wear and Tear Pads! Easily bent to your deck profile, these polished stainless steel pads are backed with an adhesive to stay in place. They're robust, yet only half the thickness of paper! Check them out here.
April's Big Deal: 3M Water Filter US-A1 - The Foul-water Fighter!
 
US-A1 FilterIf you fill up at various marinas, you have probably noticed that not all water sources are equal. The 3M US-A1 Under-Sink Filter reduces >95% of chlorine, removes sediment, dirt and rust down to 1 micron and has a 2 GPM flow rate.
 
But here's the kicker; for a limited time the US-A1 Filter SUPER BONUS PACK includes free bottles of 3M boat soap, liquid wax, oxidation remover and vinyl conditioner! That's a $167.95 value... for $77.99!
