The Actuant Electrical’s Mastervolt brand, the global leader in marine electrical power products and systems, has been chosen as a Technical Supplier to ORACLE TEAM USA, 34th America’s Cup Defender.

“It is important for us to work with companies that understand our needs, offer high quality products and knowledgeable technical support,” said Chris Sitzenstock, Shore and Build Team Project Manager for ORACLE TEAM USA.

“Mastervolt has collaborated with us throughout the design process, offering products that work well in our applications, and they stand by their products.”

With marine electrical systems becoming more load-heavy and complex, Marinco and BEP have taken a detailed look at the everyday products used in boat electrical installations, and created a range of connectors to make electrical fitouts as quick and easy as possible, whilst maximizing dependability.

The result is the Pro Installer Series of bus bars, fuse holders and insulated studs designed for fast installation and the ability to cluster easily with a small footprint.

This has been achieved by using a common interconnection height that allows solid link bars to connect multiple Pro Installer products - a real bonus when space is tight.

US-based Marinco is pleased to announce the launch of a new generation of remote-controlled spotlight that combines a rich and powerful beam with a wireless bridge remote, and the option of a handheld wireless remote control as well.

Mounted spotlights are very exposed, and usually bear the brunt of bad weather, harsh ultraviolet and salt spray all year round, so Marinco’s innovative spotlight programme has addressed the problems commonly found in competing products.

The result is a range of the most versatile, durable, and easy to use spotlights on the market.

Mastervolt, the Dutch-based leader in electrical systems and a subsidiary of the Actuant Corporation, is proud to announce the arrival of the Lithium Ion ‘Ultra’ battery, the next generation of deep-cycle power storage technology. 

The traditional use of lead plates to store electrical energy has always had strict limitations, but the introduction of Mastervolt’s first generation of high power Lithium Ion battery was a paradigm change. 

Lithium Ion batteries are at least 3 times more powerful than lead-based equivalents, a minimum of 3 times lighter, and most significantly, offer at least 3 times the cycle life. They can repeatedly provide useable power to virtual exhaustion with no ill effects, making them ideal for electric propulsion.

Torqeedo, market leaders in the fast growing electric outboard motor industry, will be showcasing the newly launched - and overall winner of the prestigious DAME award - Deep Blue electric outboard system at the Tullett Prebon London Boat Show taking place from 12th to 20th January 2013, together with the full range of Torqeedo high-tech outboards.

During the show, Torqeedo will be demonstrating the ground-breaking 80 HP Deep Blue electric outboard system from its berth, M120, to showcase the cleaner, quieter and more economical boating experience it offers.
