 Lewmar has introduced two new deck switches to make the operation of electric winches easier and smoother than ever. The new models - in standard and illuminated versions - are lighter and smaller than previous switches.
The unique illuminated switch, lit up by calm yet visible orange night-lighting, is being made available for the first time and uses a very low amperage LED for minimal power drain. For those yacht owners not planning on sailing at night, an unlit version is a lower cost choice. Both switches are available either in a closed lid or open option. The closed lid deck switch is also the right choice for an anchor windlass.

Morris launched the boat on Tuesday, just in time for a few preliminary sea trials before last week's snowstorm...

 Setting up to jig fish is a simple process. All you need is your favorite jig, a float and enough added weight to balance your float.
To weight your float and jig, you have a choice of pencil lead, egg sinker or a slinky. My favorite weight system is the egg sinker in line with my float and jig. The type of weight you use is really a matter of personal preference though. The important part is that the combined weight of your jig and weight allows your float to ride at the proper level in the river. Most floats come with a colored band near the top this is how much of the float that should protrude above the water.
