Equipping your boat with the tools you need while you’re out on the open water is critical to making it safely back to port. Two-way radios, JumPacks, positioning systems, and antennas can all help you communicate, navigate, and problem solve when things get dicey. But when one of these runs out of power, it’s also important to have a backup.

You should always have marine accessories on hand just in case you need an extra cord, antenna, or mouthpiece. Grab an extra from your stash, plug it in, and you'll be back up and running in no time. You’ll be so glad you have additional parts for your equipment on hand when you need them the most.

You can also experience the added convenience of boosting your performance with antennas that offer extended frequency ranges and NOAA weather. This keeps you connected and safe. You will always know when a storm is blowing in and when it may affect your course.

Enhance your two-way radio with a positioning system that quickly adds GPS capability, meaning all calls you make include your location. It includes your exact position in any distress call, ensuring the Coast Guard or other ships in your area can come to your aid quickly in a crisis.

As always, don’t forget extra wall chargers, cradles, and adapters to make sure you’re ready for anything. Being comfortable on your vessel is about more than having the latest equipment to keep you safe. It’s about the peace of mind that comes from having all of the extras you need to keep your equipment running at optimal performance all the time.
