The Þ rst pull on the lanyard removes the R-clip from the pin and a com- pression spring ejects the pin which is Þ rmly tethered to the body. The second pull activates the release lever to re- lease the object or item under load. This option is clearly most useful on models TR3 to TR10. www.seacatch.com Caterpillar Relaunches Renowned Cat 3406C Caterpillar Marine Power Systems is relaunching one of the most successful marine engine platforms in its history.

The PowerShark WB3000, a powerful new rechargeable, submers- ible handheld tool from Waveblade, Inc., removes barnacles and other unwanted growth in seconds. It delivers a new level of efÞ ciency and safety for shallow dive maintenance work on hulls and ma- rine structures, and works equally as well for land-based projects. The PowerShark capitalizes on a patented reso- nant wave technology. Oscillating at a 3,000 rpm frequency with additional harmonics, the toolÕs cleaning head actually breaks the chemical bond between materials. In the process, even the most stubborn fouling falls away without damag- ing underlying surfaces. The completely waterproof tool op- erates both on land and underwater, with a 20Õ depth rating. www.waveblade.com Hella Shines Spotlight on Commercial Lighting The recently released Commercial Ves- sel Lighting catalog from Hella marine of- fers operators a closer look at the compa-nyÕs products.
