BOATBLINGGarmin’s new, easy-to-use
STRIKER Plus series takes a range of
proven fishfinders and packs them
with new features to help anglers find
and catch more fish.
Reasons to upgrade or change to
STRIKER Plus include built-in GPS,
Quickdraw Contours and Wi-Fi.
Combine these with built-in CHIRP
traditional sonar and CHIRP ClearVü
and SideVü scanning sonar technology
familiar from first generation STRIKER
series, and these new fishfinders
are the perfect entry-level solution
for anglers who want the best sonar
available, plus the ability to create and
store their own contour maps.
Available with a 5- or 7-inch display, the
Plus series also adds a larger 4.3- and
a 9-inch model to the line-up, all with
bright, sunlight readable colour displays.
STRIKER Plus series is compatible
with a wide-range of optional Garmin
scanning transducers to customise
sonar performance and installation
options and is supplied with transom
and trolling-motor transducer and
mounting hardware.
Recommended retail prices range
from $299 to $999.

Airfloor, a hybrid of the popular
Shearwater Airfloor and the classic
Puffin Rollup, is a solid and stable
platform that’s lightweight
and easy to store.
Its thermally welded tubes are fixed to
a high-pressure drop-stitch inflatable
floor, resulting in a robust, seaworthy
tender that’s quick to inflate and easily
stowed for transport. Boat to bag
takes less than five minutes.
The Puffin Airfloor is ideal as a tender
and compact enough to throw in the
back of the car. Its inflatable floor
provides a very stable, level bottom
for safe footing when boarding or
standing in the boat.
The Puffin Airfloor is available from
Southern Pacific Inflatables, Kiwi
Yachting or your local dealer.

The new Projecta Portable Power-Hub
provides fast and convenient power:
at a remote campsite, caravan park,
on the water, or at a worksite.
The PH125 Power-Hub makes a 12V
battery capable of powering and charging
a wide array of electronic equipment
simultaneously via 10 power outlets.
Included is a 240V AC socket, providing
clean ‘Pure Sine Wave’ power (300W),
and DC terminals for applications such
as jump-starting a car.
Other outlet types include USB (2x2A),
cigarette lighter (2x10A), Engel (1x10A),
Merit (2x15A) and a 50A heavy-duty
socket, all protected by automatically
resetting circuit breakers.
The easily portable unit is water-
resistant. Its colour LCD screen provides
a range of battery data, including
battery capacity and health over the
life of the battery, and automatically
distinguishes between wet, AGM, gel or
calcium batteries. Recharging is via
a 240V AC charger or solar panel.
Power-Hub is an alternative to
operating a dual battery system and is
able to operate away from a vehicle.
PH125 Power-Hub is available at
automotive outlets.

deep-cycle batteries have proven
themselves in the Australian outback
and beyond – in 4WDs, caravans and
motorhomes, long-haul trucking
and marine applications, off-grid
solutions and emergency services.
Offered in 12V/60Ah, 100Ah, 160Ah
and 24V/200Ah and 48V/100Ah,
Revolution Power’s internal battery
management system (BMS) equalises
and balances the cells, also turning
the battery off if the voltage is too
low or too high, or if it short circuits.
Revolution Power labels its batteries in
usable amp hours: a 100Ah Revolution
Power Lithium Deep Cycle Battery
provides 100 usable amp hours. Many
other Lithium brands are typically 80%
usable and lead batteries 50%.
The 12V 100Ah Revolution Power
lithium battery weighs just 11.9kg,
20kg less than an AGM 100Ah battery;
the voltage sits at 13.4V for 80% of the
discharge cycle.
A 100Ah Revolution Power lithium
will fully charge from flat to full
in two hours using a 40-amp
charger and users can expect 5,000
battery cycles @ 50% discharge as
compared to 80-500 for an AGM.
Revolution Power’s 12V lithium
batteries are sealed in a waterproof
polycarbonate case.
