5 things I wish I'd bought for my boat sooner

First of all a public warning… this video features some truly appalling singing by myself (Steve} I can only apologize. We cannot accept any liability for any mental trauma caused or bleeding from the ears!
It does feature some truly excellent gear though. Some things we have briefly shown before, and people have asked for more information, and some are things we’ve only just got.
Here is a list of the product with links to websites where you can find out more:

Robship Hook & Moor: we got ours from SVB, here’s a link to the page:

Bungy. We think these are the best solution for dealing with surge at the dockside. Really easy to fit and you can put them on and take them off without having a free end, really versatile solution

BUNGY

LiberLive: There’s nothing quite like relaxing on deck after a day on the water.
I’ve really enjoyed trying the LiberLive C1—it’s a fun music tech instrument that’s easy to pickup, even if you don’t have much musical experience.
If you’re curious, check it out here: https://bit.ly/4wqjH72

FishHelm: If I were kitting a boat out for fishing while cruising I would definitely not bother with rods and just go for one of these. It’s always there for instant use and doesn’t need to have a place to be stored. It’s really easy to use, make reeling in a fish a breeze and you don’t have to be worried about having it stolen from the back of the boat like a rod, it’s bolted on. I’m also really impressed with the handline ( you can buy them together as a bundle with a good discount)

Predict wind pro Hub: Its more than just a data hub, this one really does require a full tech video on it’s own to go through all the features, what you get with the free version and what is extra with the pro version of the App etc. All the things I show you here are on the free version of the app. take a look here:

The USB socket is something else we got from the SVB catalogue, do make sure you get one of these type of sockets for all the reasons I go through in the video.
