Simple Producst to Make Boating Better

Keep Bumpers Close At Hand
Bumpers can be difficult to access if they're hidden under a seat and hard to reach as you're coming into the dock. BumperMate offers an easy solution to keep bumpers accessible yet still stashed out of the way. Lightweight and sturdy, these bumper racks attach directly to the deck of your pontoon or deck boat with stainless steel screws. You can conveniently dock at your favorite waterfront locations and have your boat bumpers easy to access, without having to rifle under seats to retrieve them.

Located in Wisconsin, the company makes all of its products in the USA from lightweight billet aluminum. BumperMate racks are sturdy and rust-free; standard sizes hold two bumpers. Though the company no longer sells an accessory kit to add additional rings to the holders, they often run sales on both the large and small sizes of BumperMates.

The small size retails for $199.99 and holds bumpers to 6.5 inches in diameter. The large size retails for $239.99 and holds bumpers up to 8.75 inches in diameter. Standard BumperMates are available powder coated in silver, black, or textured black. www.bumpermateusa.com


Adapt Your ‘Toon For Water Sports
If you want to adapt your pontoon to water sports but don’t currently have a dedicated pylon, the 198 Ski Tow from Accon Marine is a great solution, and works better than straining a cleat. The four-piece, solidly constructed Ski Tow ($57.87) can accommodate standard tow ropes without a snag point and can be flush-mounted on the transom. www.acconmarine.com


Safely Carry Wine On Board
Designed to protect and transport bottles of wine safely, the Vin2Go is a portable wine travel case by FlyWithWine, enabling wine enthusiasts to bring their favorite vintages on board their pontoons. This convenient and protective solution fits up to two bottles of wine, or one bottle of wine and one normal size glass.

Made with a durable semi-hard, shockproof shell case that protects wines and wine glasses from drops and bumps, the Vin2Go ($39.95) also has two pieces of inner cushion to secure the wines inside the case. www.flywithwine.com

Simply Walk Up The Steps
Walking into the water from your pontoon has never been so easy. For the newest and most convenient way for you or your pet to easily step in and out of the water, try the SeaStep—a retractable set of steps that can be attached directly to the underside of your pontoon.

Featuring a large bottom step for waterside seating, the SeaStep is built from lightweight marine-grade aluminum and has a non-skid marine mat for added safety and comfort. Available in a 1, 2, or 3-step actuated model operated by a momentary switch, the step only requires a small two conductor wire for the self-contained electro-hydraulic actuator. No hydraulic lines are needed. A manual 1-step model is also available. www.sealiftusa.com
