Not Your Typical LED Light
This Yamaha AR210 was one of the first boats outfitted with DeepSea Power & Light's (DeepSea) new MiniLED Thru-Hull SeaLite and the amazing light output made quite an impression. The spectators were thrilled by the "afterburner" effect of the boat's rooster tail being lit up by the lights. Even when the boat was at rest, the blue glow behind the vessel provided a dramatic look that really made the ski boat stand out. The owner of the Yamaha choose to have it equipped with three MiniLED ThruHull SeaLite (two blue, one white) mounted straight back thru the transom. DeepSea has incorporated unique features in the new MiniLED Thru-Hull SeaLite that set it apart from other underwater boat lights on the market. All of the electronics are integrated into the compact watertight fitting that is completely serviceable from inside the boat. In addition, thermal rollback circuitry protects the LEDs from overheating, allowing them to be left on while the boat is underway. The MiniLED Thru-Hull SeaLite is designed for ski boats, center consoles, and yachts tenders where space is at a premium and price is an important consideration.

DIDSON
DIDSON is a high-definition sonar that uses acoustic lenses to make almost-photographic quality images in dark, turbid waters where optical systems are ineffective. The Unibody fits the analog electronics and digital electronics in one housing below the lens compartment. The Unibody DIDSON comes in three different depth ratings. The 300-m and 1000m rated housings are made from anodized aluminum. The 3000-m rated housing is made from titanium. Shipping crates are included with all sonars. The 300-m depth rated DIDSON has a rear-facing connector or a forward-facing connector. Almost all customers with fisheries applications mount their DIDSON in shallow water near the river bank and prefer the rear-facing connector. The FFC allows the sonar and cable to fit in a smaller space. Typically the cable
56 MTR
from the FFC forms a service loop, then connects to an existing pod on the vehicle.

design and processing algorithms enable the system with up to 360 degree coverage. The patented pulsed FMCW eliminates the range aliasing and antenna wind-vibration noise inherent to other HF system designs.
Argos
Argos provides environmental monitoring from remote stations, either fixed or mobile, fitted with an Argos transmitter. Sensors on Argos platforms collect data on atmospheric pressure, sea temperature, animal heart rates, alarm management or water level of a river, for example. Users program their transmitters and choose sensors for the type of observations they need.

The SeaSonde HF radar system by Codar Ocean Sensors is a compact, non-contact surface current and wave measurement system that can be deployed and maintained easily. The system was designed to perform even during extreme weather conditions such as hurricanes. Codar Ocean Sensors' patented technologies allow the SeaSonde to produce 2-D surface current velocity maps and measures wave parameters. Patented antenna
