In test after test, from coast to coast and from around the world, no anchor in history has been called “The World’s Best Anchor” by more boaters and respected marine experts than Fortress…and for good reason.

Years of research and development, high-tech materials and manufacturing and thousands of real world tests are your assurance of performance, quality, and value. Fortress weighs only half as much as heavier steel anchors and yet outperforms them all.

Why? Because the Fortress design does not depend upon weight to provide world class performance. All this adds up to your best value in anchoring safety

This is a highly thought of source for the hard-to-get supplies.

They will be at the Sunnyland ACBS Show this March. BTW, Bill is a long-time support of the ACBS with advertising and time commitments.

Call Southern Crown Boatworks to see what they have that they may be able to save you the cost and hassle of some shipping some supplies.

Labels can be misleading.  Thetford Marine has changed the name of its powerful Mildew Stain Remover to Multi-Purpose Stain Remover, better indicating just how many different types of stains it can eliminate.  DfE-recognized, this cleaner still features the same biodegradable formula with an added oxygenating power.
Tough on stains, the Multi-Purpose Stain Remover is chlorine-free and color-safe for all fabrics and materials.  It also won’t harm finishes or decals and is ideal for awnings, rubber moldings, canvas, vinyl and almost all other surfaces.  This cleaner is also great as a laundry pre-spot to remove stains on clothing, such as those from spaghetti sauce, chocolate, blood and felt-tip pens.  It’s essential when eliminating cranberry juice, dirt, grease, pet, coffee and even crayon stains on carpet and upholstery.
Environmentally friendly, the biodegradable Multi-Purpose Stain Remover is part of Thetford’s comprehensive Design for the Environment (DfE)-recognized, premium marine care line and is available in a bright green, 32 fl. oz, 100% recyclable spray bottle.  The EPA founded the DfE program in the early 1990s to champion risk reduction through pollution prevention.  All products carrying the EPA/DfE logo do not contain inorganic phosphates, hazardous solvents or environmentally harmful
surfactants, and use only the safest possible ingredients while maintaining or improving product performance.
Headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Thetford Corp. is the world’s leading supplier of sanitation and refrigeration products for the recreational vehicle, marine and heavy-duty truck industries.  Thetford is a privately-held company with eight manufacturing facilities in four nations.
Thetford subsidiaries include Norcold, America’s leading manufacturer of gas-absorption refrigerators and freezers for the RV, marine and truck markets, Tecma, a producer of fine-china toilets and powerful waste-transfer systems based in Italy.

Many boaters have concerns about cutting holes in their vessels, whether they are composite, steel or aluminum, for the installation of accessories, such as underwater lights.  The world leader in underwater lighting Aqualuma, offers a thru-hull range with a variety of features that easily address any owner’s doubts.
The molded polymer housing, which is virtually unbreakable, ensures boaters will have no fears about the strength of the light once it’s installed.  Also, Aqualuma’s thru-hull range is the only non-corrosive light available on the market.  Another benefit of the exceptionally strong polymer housing is its resistance to scratching and high impact, unlike glass underwater lights.
While surface-mount lights require haul-out for servicing, the company’s thru-hull range can easily be examined from inside the vessel, saving owners money.  Due to its extensive R&D efforts, Aqualuma is at the forefront of LED technology and offers boaters a unique upgrade program.  It utilizes the existing polymer housing and upgrades the light’s engine and driver, so boaters can enjoy the advances in underwater lighting without the added cost of haul-out or brand new housing
Aqualuma’s thru-hull range offers a best-in-class three-year warranty, as well as any light upgrade purchases.  The thru-hull range is available in the 1, 3 and 6 series in ultra blue, white or green to color the waters around a boater’s vessel.
