Raytheon Marine company in- troduced its RL-9 LCD Radar ear- lier this year. The unit, measuring 8.2 in. by 7.8 in. by 2.5 in., features 1/8- to 16-mile nautical range scales and 2 kW transmitting power. The

RL-9 is waterproof to U.S. Coast

Guard CFR 46 standards and has a 7-in. diagonal temperature compen- sated screen, which Raytheon says means it won't turn black, even in bright sunlight.

The unit is also Raychart com- patible: plug the Raychart 600XX control head into the RL-9 to view detailed C-MAP® electronic charts on the radar display. The user can then alternate back and forth be- tween full-screen electronic chart and radar display. Other features include: Timed Transmit mode, which automatically turns the transmitter and antenna on and off to conserve power; Guard Zone to warn when targets enter or leave selected areas; 2X Zoom; and Off- centering up to 66 percent to ex- pand the forward view without changing the range setting. The unit comes with six-degree horizon- tal beamwidth radome antenna and 33 ft. (10 m) of interconnecting cable.

V-Links Corp. Emergency

Belt Good In A Pinch

The Emergency Ready V-Belt re- portedly offers a quick and easy-to- install solution for a wide range of applications where an immediate replacement is needed for a failed belt. Whether used in a power boat or with industrial machinery, the individual-link construction and open-end design enables users to bypass obstacles and easily mount the belt on pulleys. Once in place, the belt is adjusted to the required length by simply removing the ex- cess material and snapping the two ends together to form a secure, con- tinuous loop. Although intended as an interim measure, automotive tests in a vehicle operating at high- way speeds for more than 6,000 miles caused no failure in the belt.

Drew Ameroid Offers

Amerarc™ Constant-Current

Arc Welder

Drew Ameroid Marine has intro- duced a new constant-current arc welding machine it claims brings the benefits of modern inverter tech- nology to shipboard welding opera- tions. Because of its efficient in- verter design, the durable, heavy- duty Amerarc™ I-300GTS inverter arc welding machine is also light- weight and portable. This enables the machine to be brought to the work site, minimizing required cable length and voltage drop problems.

With a built-in high-frequency starter and gas control system, the

I-300GTS also satisfies the require- ments for a portable automated

Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding system. Measuring 12 in. by 20 in. by 18 in. (305mm by 510mm by 470mm), the unit weighs 84 lbs. (38 kg). The unit offers constant cur- rent output of300 amps DC power at 60 percent Duty Cycle, and 375 amps at 35 percent. The Open Circuit

Voltage is 70 volts. A 13-ft. (4-m), four-conductor primary cable is in- cluded, and no additional wiring or adjustments are required.

FBM Wins Portugal Catamaran Order by

Andy Smith & Carol Fulford, international editors

FBM Marine in the U.K. has received an order for four 148-ft. (45-m) catamaran passenger fer- ries from Portuguese operator

Transtejo SA. The contract was reportedly won against intense in- ternational competition, and the

U.K. yard was favored in part be- cause its bid included the lowest fuel consumption figures, substan- tiated by results on similar craft working U.K. routes.

Intended to carry 500 passen- gers on various commuter routes across the River Tagus, the longest river on the Iberian Peninsula, the new design of aluminum catamaran is a development of a proven class known for low wash and wake char- acteristics. It incorporates a futur- istic superstructure featuring exte- rior panels in fiber reinforced plastic sandwich, similar to the five FBM 50-knot TriCats currently under construction for Hong Kong. FBM will build the first two craft, but plan to subcontract the remainder to

Estaleiros Navais do Mondego SA in

Portugal. Peterson Builders Inc. is

FBM's licensee in the U.S. '-^le 242 on Reader Service Card
