Like the chief...TUGMONITOR® earns its keep

The chief reason why you hire a good Engineer is his experience . . . and how he can adapt that ex- perience to the special needs of your boat. TUG-

MONITOR Safety Watch and Control service earns its keep the same way.

TUGMONITOR has many built-in exclusives that put it in a class by itself. It employs gauges, not just idiot lights, to provide data about the exact state of the machinery. You know precisely how all systems are working at all times, not just after trouble occurs.

TUGMONITOR checks its own functions, spots its own internal defects if they develop . . . gives no false alarms. Unaffected by motion of the vessel, starting or stopping of engines, engine speed vari- ations or electrical disturbances, TUGMONITOR is the most completely believable system available.

For as little as $7,000, TUGMONITOR stands watch on 16 critical points on your twin screw vessel: four on each engine, one on each reduction gear, two on each auxiliary generator, (all with automatic shutdown features), plus fire detection and bilge level alarms. This is a good time to consider adding

TUGMONITOR safety to your fleet, whether you plan to build a new boat or up-date an older one.

Call or write for a TUGMONITOR proposal to meet your special needs.
