We use the compact NOCO GENIUS10 to maintain our car during long trips and have charged many dead batteries with it. Its 10-amp output, 6V/12V modes, multi-chemistry support, long leads, and Force Mode make it far more useful than a basic trickle charger.
FIXCLIP locks securely onto both sizes of round rail on our boat, keeps laundry aboard in strong wind, and has no exposed metal to rust. It costs more than an ordinary clip, but we plan to buy more.
The suction base stays planted, it grates hard and soft cheeses quickly, nothing gets trapped inside, and it comes apart for compact storage. A genuinely useful manual alternative to a food processor.
We've played HITSTER with adults, kids, families, and friends in houses, cabins, and late into the night aboard boats. Every group had fun, most wanted another round, and several people bought their own copy.
After two years, the Mantus M3 chain hook is a massive upgrade over a standard chain grabber — beefy, built to last, and it latches to the chain even when slack so your bridle never falls off. Plus the trick for opening it when it gets sticky.
We've hauled this Helinox Beach Chair onto the boat, across dozens of beaches, and up a trail to go salmon fishing. It sits low but it's comfortable, packs down tiny, sets up in seconds, and the feet don't sink in sand.
You need a real address even if you live on a boat or travel full-time. We've used St. Brendan's Isle for years. Here's how the top five services compare.
Three years, zero failures (minus a latch). The Dometic CFX5 75DZ is expensive, heavy, and the Bluetooth is pointless. It's also the most reliable portable fridge/freezer we've ever owned.
At $105 it's expensive. It's also the fastest, most accurate instant-read thermometer made. Here's why it's worth it — especially if you cook on a boat or RV.
