A new brochure from Drew

Ameroid Marine discusses optimiz- ing the cost and protection benefits of Drew's Magnakote products.

MagnaKoteR Plus rust preventative reportedly provides five full years of protection for ships' ballast tanks and void spaces, while the original

Magnakote treatment is warranteed for two years.

Circle 99 on Reader Service Card "Soft Touch" Dash Panel:

Custom Configured

DMP America's "soft touch" dash panel, designed to minimize dam- age in the event of accidental spill- age on the console, reportedly sim- plifies the operation of various func- tions. DMP says the panels are designed to virtually eliminate the conglomerate of raised handles, toggles, and buttons that normally affect the cosmetic qualities of the console, and are constructed to take up about half the space associated with regular consoles.

The mechanics used to run and maneuver the vessel can reportedly be set up in any fashion desired, to fit the needs of the owner or opera- tor — with micro-switches that ease access to controls normally sticking out above the console.

Denison Hydraulics' P16 Open

Loop Pump offers high rated pres- sure, a precision barrel bearing, and fabricated pistons which reduce trapped oil volume, reportedly in- creasing efficiency and reducing pis- ton weight for a maximum speed of 2,500 rpm. The pump also offers through drive capability, which al- lows two pumps to be run in tandem at full rated pressure and flow, si- multaneously. The pump's large suction port (3.5 inch SAE) reduces inlet flow velocity and angled barrel ports reduce piston circle diameter, so oil enters the barrel at reduced velocity.

These features allow the pump to run as fast as 1,850 rpm at atmo- spheric inlet pressure.

Protector: Minimal Water,

Maximum Coverage

Micrologic has added a full-fea- tured GPS to its line. The Sports- man hand-held receiver has a 1,000- waypoint capacity, 500 of which can be entered as lat/lon, present posi- tion, range/bearing, MGRS, UTM,

TDs, data log and PC download. The other 500 are available with the automatic data log feature, which records position, day, date, time and estimated accuracy once per minute.

ABB Nera Offers New

Inmarsat M Terminal

ABB Nera has developed an

Inmarsat M terminal, Saturn Mm, aiming at vessels for which costs are prohibitive and space at a premium.

Reportedly small enough to fit in any craft, the new Mm terminal provides global telephone, fax and data access — and the company claims it has still brought traffic, equipment and installation costs down. The Saturn Mm consists of a 26.7-inch (68 cm), 42.5 lb. (22 kg) antenna and a 8.8 lb. (4 kg) control unit linked by coaxial cable, run- ning on 10- to 34-volt DC current with AC options available. Up to 99 short numbers can be displayed by name from the handset. Digitalized 4.8 kbps transmission reportedly assures high voice quality. For more information on ABB Nera's Inmarsat

Denison's PI6 Open Loop

Pump Runs At 1,850 RPM

Grinnell Fire Protection's

AquaMist Marine System, a low pressure fire-suppression system, utilizes automatic, fast response

AquaMist Marine Nozzles which use a small amount of water (mini- mum operating flow is three gpm per nozzle) for a blanketing mist which the company claims quickly controls developing fires. The sys- tem can be retrofitted at sea or in port. For more information,

The Sea Recovery Pocket DS

Meter checks the product water quality of a desalinator (watermaker), and at only 5.75 inches in length, it can easily be stored or used immediately. Two probe sensors determine water min- eral content by measuring electri- cal current through the water: the greater the minerals, the greater the electrical current. The meter operates between 50° and 104° F.

The scale readings are in equiva- lent sodium chloride strength PPM (parts per million) between 10 and 1,000 PPM — typical variances for drinking water.

The meter can be used for check- ing potable R.O. water and home tapwater.
