Here's an alternative to winterizing your engine every year. The usual procedure involves flushing, draining, spraying - plus a lot of work in cold, damp weather not to mention crawling around in cramped spaces. The Bensaco heater has enough power to keep your engines from freezing through the harshest winters, yet doesn't cost much to run. It's ideal if you keep your boat in the water year-round, and use it during warm spells. Simply turn them off and go. When you get back, Plug it in, and walk away. No hassle. You'll use your boat longer into cool weather, and earlier in the spring. It's a forced hot air heater, with non-sparking elements and fan. A thermostat turns the heater on at 45 degrees F., and off when the compartment reaches 55 degrees. Heavy 16 gaugealuminum cover is powder-coated for corrosion resistance. Runs on 120 volt AC, and cost 6-8 cents and hour to run (depending on local utility rates).

#50 BB Fiddle With Shackle & Becket 3/8
Ronstan has combined the latest cutting edge bearing technology with the most up to date construction and design techniques to produce their new Series 50 Ball Bearing Blocks. The result is a block that is incredibly strong for its size, with working loads considerably higher than most other blocks of comparable size. The secret to the Series 50 Blocks' incredible strength is a unique two-stage bearing system. Under light and moderate loads, Acetal ball bearings ensure virtually frictionless rotation of the sheave. Under heavy loads, a sliding Acetal bearing on a polished stainless steel race takes over, maintaining low friction performance and ensures the sheave will continue to rotate properly. Made from durable, light-weight, precision molded UV stabilized Acetal, the cheeks have bearing cut-outs making it easy to flush out sand and salt, and the sheaves have a specialized rope groove that suits all modern fibers and braids. With exceptionally high working loads and a compact low profile, Ronstan'sSeries 50 Ball Bearing Blocks are typically used for mainsheet, halyard, vang, and spinnaker control applications on boats such as off-the-beach catamarans, one-design keelboats and sport boats up to 33 feet in length, and for many control lines on larger boats.
