RO Systems and Parts

Marine Plumbing & Ventilation The plumbing and ventilation systems are two of the most important aspects of your boat. It is very important that any toilet facilities work properly, and you also need to ensure that there is adequate ventilation for the engine and to remove any fumes that can build up in passenger compartments or similar areas. With our marine plumbing and ventilation parts and accessories, you have what you need all in one place, right at your fingertips. From air conditioning & refrigeration supplies to bilge pumps, fans, and hot water heaters, we have it all under one roof.   We carry several brands and can offer Livewell pumps and transfer pumps, along with several marine sanitation options. Portable toilets are an excellent choice for boats that are large enough to accommodate them, but the comfort of your passengers is not the only thing to be aware of. You also need to make sure you have adequate engine cooling pumps, and that any washdown / pressure pumps work correctly. With a WaterMaker pump, quality fittings, and the right blowers & heaters for your boat, you can ensure that your boat will operate correctly and your passengers will have the comfort and convenience they need.

Just like any hopeful homeowner, it’s crucial that you devise a plan and educate yourself on the home-buying process. Courtesy of CLR Marine LLC, here's a guide to help you along the way so you make all the right moves.   Focus on Your Financial House No matter a person's veteran status, those looking to own a home must check their credit score and report to understand where their financial health currently stands. Look for areas of improvement, such as minimizing credit inquiries and keeping old accounts open rather than closing them to make your credit history work to your advantage. Consider looking into securing loan pre-approval, so you know how much house you can afford.   Explore Mortgage Options for Veterans Do you know which unique loan options you qualify for as a veteran? With a VA Purchase Loan, you can buy an existing or new home, condo or duplex without offering a down payment. The VA Energy Efficient Mortgage makes it easier to make energy-efficient upgrades to a residential property you wish to buy. Specifically, the loan option provides you with an extra $6,000 for upgrades such as solar heating and cooling systems, thermal or storm windows and heat pumps.   Another mortgage option available for hopeful veterans is a VA 30-year fixed mortgage loan, which locks in your interest rate and regular monthly payment over the entire life of your loan. You don’t have to pay any money down, but the loan does require a middle credit score of 680. No matter the loan you choose, familiarize yourself with estimated payments, APR, loan terms and the interest rate.   A particularly helpful resource for veterans interested in obtaining a mortgage is Veterans United Home Loans. In addition to offering home loans, the company’s specialists will also assign you a local Realtor as well as a client concierge. The team they build for you will help you with moving and all the little details that you may not think about, making your home buying and moving experiences as smooth as possible. From personal experience CLR Marine highly recommends Veterans United.   Search for Your Ideal Property If you already know the area where you want to live, look into homes currently available. Make a list of features and amenities your dream home must have and those you care little about. Besides the home itself, research the neighborhood where your desired property is located. This prevents you from moving into the home of your dreams only to live in the neighborhood of your nightmares. You should also understand the most opportune season for homebuyers so you time your purchase to your advantage.   Learn How to Close on a Home Do not wait until you're ready to close on a home before understanding what's involved in the closing process. For instance, do you know how to make a great offer a seller can't refuse? What if you have to negotiate? Get the rundown on closing costs, which may inflate the final purchase price more than you realize. Talk things over with an experienced home loan professional, preferably one familiar with helping veterans.   Prepare for Life as a Homeowner Regardless if a mortgage option requires a down payment from veteran applicants, consider setting aside money for standard home maintenance. You know you'll eventually need HVAC maintenance, and you may have problems with your roofing, plumbing or electrical systems. If you start saving up now before you move into your home, you don't have to scramble to find the funds to cover an emergency repair. Talk to friends and relatives who own a home to get an idea of typical home maintenance costs you should anticipate.   As someone who served in the military, you deserve to enjoy life in your own home. Hopefully, the above tips help you succeed in that mission. By Kelli Brewer info@deploycare.org

Paddle your own Canoe   The history of canoes dates back 10,000 years to our forefathers, who launched dugout canoes made with animal skin and a skeleton frame of tree branches. More recently, there has been a discovery of a well-preserved birch bark canoe dating back 250 years.   Canoe rides are calm as you glide on rivers, altering your speed with your paddle as you are propelled along. Canoe rides are pristine. Of late, white water canoeing as a sport has become very popular and more challenging. Ocean canoeing falls under the white water category.   Tandem Canoeing   Canoeing with a buddy gives you someone to talk to, and gives you more paddle power for your vessel. These tips, provided by Voyageur Outward Bound School, will make your canoeing experience easier and safer.   Paddle on opposite sides of the boat-    To keep your craft from pitching back and forth and make the boat more stable under motion. For added stability, kneel if you’re in rough water or trying to gain ground in a headwind. Paddle in sync with your partner. Find your rhythm. It is the bow (front) paddler’s job to set the pace, and it is the role of the stern (back) paddler to match that tempo. The bow is where the speed comes in. Maximize your forward momentum. Call a “switch” regularly to change sides, which will help keep your boat going in a straight line. Keep your paddle shaft vertical.   The alternative is called “lily-dipping” – if you’ve got an itinerary to keep and miles to make, a vertical paddle shaft will ensure that the blade of your paddle is vertical during the power phase of your stroke – maximizing forward propulsion each time.   Wear your PFD.   Safety first in all boating activities. Canoes are very unstable, especially getting in and getting out.  Seventy-five percent of paddle sport-related drownings were found with no personal flotation device on. Twenty percent of paddlesport fatalities had alcohol as a contributing factor. Invest in a comfortable PFD, so you’re more likely to wear it. It won’t save your life if you don’t wear it. Dress for the water temperature, not the air temperature. A person dressed in street clothes has a 50% chance of swimming 50 yards in 50-degree water. Hypothermia is the natural killer.   Know your limits.   Measure before you go. Novice paddlers typically cover about two mph on flat water. Experienced paddlers looking for a workout can cover 3-3.5 mph. Anticipate what river current might do to your speed and itinerary.   Check out the CLR Marine Ritchie K-TD.2 Tie Down f/Kayaker Compass S-59 - Black  for better navigation. Sunscreen in all the right places.   Sun reflected off the water will burn in some unlikely places –  under your nose and back of your ears. In an aluminum canoe, there is added reflection off metal surfaces. Wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses. Both need to be attached with a keeper string.    Practice getting back in your boat.   If you are paddling solo, the best advice is to paddle close to shore and in the lee. Don’t be farther away from the beach than what you know you can swim with your boat full of water. The Canadian re-entry technique works well for the less-athletic and in choppy waters. Once you’ve T-rescued the capsized boat, have the swimmer get to one end of two boats held side by side by a rescuer. Put a hand on each gunwale, float on your back, and hook a leg over a gunwale of each boat. Then, arch your back and drop your bottom into one of the boats.   Beware of flat river-wide horizon lines.   These are often low head dams. They may look benign, with a modest 2-4 foot drop, but given how water hydraulics work, underwater currents trap and hold boats and humans. Learn to recognize these hazards and portage around them.   Pack good snacks.   In addition to ample water, consider packing power snacks or a picnic lunch, fishing poles, binoculars, extra chocolate.   Kayaking   Like canoeing, Kayaking allows the boater to glide across pristine lake waters and rivers. Most kayaks are made of roto-molded polyethylene resins. Kayaks have become very advanced, not only for the water but for ease of transporting, durability, and skill level. In 2021, you will find sit on top kayaks, folding kayaks, and inflatables.   Many of the same techniques used in canoeing apply in Kayaking as well. When going tandem in Kayaking, follow the same guidelines as canoeing tandem.

Whether this is your first opportunity to catch a wave, or you have been practicing, studying and surfing around the globe, there is a surfboard with your name on it. And, there is a price range for boards from inexpensive to custom-made just for you.   There are three specifications for beginning and intermediate surfers when looking for a good board: Length (easy paddling and making speed, helps to catch smaller waves) Buoyancy (the thicker the board, the better it floats, the more waves you catch) Width (a wide board gives you more stability and will help you stand up consistently)   Getting started   If you are a beginner, the best way to learn is to be taught by an experienced surfer. Plan to get a wide board, and know that you will spend more time sitting and kneeling on the board, than standing. There are surfing classes at various resorts and beaches. They are worth the time and money.   Always think of safety first. Find a beach that is perfect for beginners with small waves. Be aware of your surroundings. Spot landmarks that you can see from the water. Spend time on the beach before you enter the water. Take the time to check your leash and your board. Watch other surfers and see what they do. Their successes or failure are good teaching moments for you. Pace yourself. Don’t rush to catch the biggest wave.   Paddlesports are meant to be relaxing, fun, and a terrific opportunity to commune with nature. Enjoy.   Fair winds and smooth sailing.   To obtain more information about the products and services mentioned in this article, please get in touch with CLR Marine https://www.clrmarine.com/. _________________________________________________________________________ Award-winning author Cheryl Kuba has been at the helm for more than 30 years sailing the Great Lakes, with side trips to the British Virgin Islands and St. Maarten.
