Warm Hands Cold Beer
Tired of spending the party with cold hands holding warm beers? That’s where the Yeti Colster can come to your rescue. Made of can-insulating and handprotecting technology, the Yeti Colster perfectly encases any 12-ounce can or bottle, keeping all the coldness inside, right where it belongs. Using all the powers of modern science, this beverage holder employs double-walled vacuum insulation and a “load-and-lock gasket” that screws onto the body of the Colster to secure your drink in place and maintain the proper temperature. The heavy-duty stainless steel walls are also condensation-proof to keep your hands dry while you enjoy your cold drink. The Yeti Colster is dishwasher safe and comes in stainless steel, seafoam green, navy blue and peak purple colors, selling for just $24.99 each. For more information, please visit Fisheries Supply.
Vesper Reinvents
VHF Tech
Vesper Marine has created an intuitive touchscreen VHF radio called Cortex, which is engineered to withstand the harsh marine environment. Initiate direct calls to other vessels by simply tapping the vessel on your Cortex handset, or quickly hail another vessel when every second counts. Cortex is ergonomically designed for one-handed operation through its unique click-wheel feature. As the first VHF to be equipped with high-speed SOTDMA AIS transponder technology, Cortex makes your boat visible to others. A built-in heading sensor tells other vessels your direction, helping them more accurately predict potential collisions. Equipped with a large, 4-inch, intuitive display, the Cortex is submersible for 30 minutes and its touchscreen works perfectly with either gloves or wet hands. Cortex is available now at Fisheries Supply for $1,849. For more information, visit Vesper Marine.

MX-1 Propeller Solves Cavitation Problem
Welcome to a new way of looking at the lowly propellers. The highly anticipated design of the Sharrow Propeller Model MX-1 has apparently solved some of the most basic problems of rotary propulsion: tip cavitation and vortices. Both have been either eliminated or significantly reduced with the “tipless” MX-1, increasing efficiency by 9 to 15% and dramatically reducing fuel costs.
The Sharrow Propeller Model MX-1 recently won of the Innovation Award at the 2020 Miami International Boat Show and is specifically designed for high-performance sterndrives and outboard motors. The revolutionary new props are custom-designed and machine-tooled for each vessel, which explains the cost of $4,500 for an aluminum MX-1 or $9,000 for stainless steel. Each can be delivered in 9 to 12 weeks, so better order them now at sharrowmarine.com.

Read the Maps, Find the Fish
Looking for the top hot spots for game fishing this summer? Then check out Sirius XMS Fish Mapping tools that allow you to see where the fish are hunting via your multi-function Sirius XM Marine display. By combining several digital mapping tools in one unit, boaters can identify where constantly shifting mats of floating weeds and other plant habitats are located, which attract bait fish that are hunted by larger predatory game fish. You can also locate “upwelling” areas with nutrient-rich water and avoid “downwelling” areas that are nutrient-poor. Sirius can help find ideal hunting locations where both the temperature and plankton fronts coincide. The Fish Mapping subscription package is $99.99 per month and includes fishing data and all the SiriusXM Marine Offshore package weather features (a $59.99-per-month value). For more information, visit siriusxmcommunications.com/fishmapping.
