May 2017 | Boating Industry | 33 www.BoatingIndustry.com 2017 SIDESHIFT PT230 Sideshift Inc. has introduced the PT230, the world's fi rst fully retractable thruster for modern pontoon boats. With the patent-pending PT230 problems with docking and close-quarters maneuvers are com- pletely eliminated. The powerful single-prop motor sits at home under the deck in its rugged, marine-grade anodized aluminum housing, ready for use when it's needed. Precision guidance is at the operators fi nger- tips with the simple wireless joystick control, to guide the boat in any direction regardless of wind or current. SKIERS CHOICE AUTOWAKE TECHNOLOGY The AutoWake technology monitors the running at- titude of the boat and adjusts ballast levels automati- cally to maintain optimal hull position for either surfi ng or wakeboarding. Combined with surf systems and a second-generation smart plate, AutoWake delivers precise wakes or surf waves that are easy to set up, repeat and customize for riders of any skill level. The technology is standard on all 2017 Supra Models and an optional feature on all 2017 Moomba models. SPRADLING INTERNATIONAL FASTMOUNT TC-06 Spradling International Marine's new patent-pending TC-06 Textile Range Clip from Fastmount is designed for the rapid replacement and removal of exterior cushions. The clip set easily locks seat backs, bases, sunbeds and other soft-backed upholstery into place. An extension of the male/female clip system, the Tex- tile Range female clip is simply stitched to the uphol- stery while the male is screwed onto the fi berglass, wood or metal deck molding. The two parts lock to- gether with a push and a click. SUNSTREAM SWIFTSHIELD UNIVERSAL AUTOMATIC BOAT COVER The Sunstream SwiftShield Universal Automatic Boat Cover enhances the boating experience by automati- cally removing and installing a full mooring cover on a boat on a boat lift. The shape of the cover provides complete protection of not only the top of the boat, but the sides as well. The mechanism mounts to the guides of a boat lift, which enables the design to be used on most any boat lift. The articulating arm reduces the height while operating the cover, which enables use under many covered moorage areas, and increases wind resistance. SUPREME S238 The 2017 S238 is a 23' 8" wakesurfi ng towboat with a Deep-V hull that can house up to 16 passengers. Other features include QuickFill Ballast, Plug and Play Ballast and the available QuickSurf System. Powered by GM Marine Crusader Engines from PCM.
