Boaters can safeguard their electronic system with Auto-Surge.

December 1, 2006

When a voltage surge occurs on your boat, it means bad news; a voltage surge can prevent boaters from performing simple tasks such as operating the anchor winch or starting the engine. Boaters can safeguard their electronic system with Auto-Surge, a 12-volt electronic device that suppresses power surges to a maximum peak of 18 volts, since yachts and power boats can generate up to 90 volts, damaging electronic components. Durable and waterproof, Auto-Surge lets boaters know it's functioning by a flashing green LED, and when over-voltage occurs, a red LED signals that the system needs checking. The retail price is $69.95.  (347) 603-5995, www.autosurge.com.
