Must Have Boating Accessories for 2022
These must have boating accessories will help you to make the most of your time on the water!
1. Fishing Accessories:
Planning a trip offshore with mates, fishing with the family, or quiet day on the river? Fishing boat accessories can make your experience out in the water safer, more fun and more successful. From simple solutions to electronic gadgets, here’s a list of the top additions for your boat.
Fish Finders If you’re looking to improve your fishing game this year, then a Fish Finder is a great choice! Brands like Garmin, Humminbird, Furuno, and Lowrance continue to release updated fish finders that boast features that work to improve any fishing experience – and are well worth checking out.
Rod holders
Unless you enjoy holding a single fishing rod for hours on end waiting for a catch, these helpful accessories are indispensable. They can be used to store your rods, or to anchor them when in action. With convenient designs that can be mounted to your boats' gunwale, you can have multiple lines out while minimising the risk of tangling.
Comfortable seating
Something that is often overlooked until you are well into your excursion, comfort is vital when you're spending a long day out. Cushions can easily fix awkward seating, and swivel chairs come in handy during an energetic catch.
Downrigger
A step up from a traditional rod, this equipment can expertly control your bait depth while moving naturally through the water. This allows you to change your fishing tactics based on location and the fish you're trying to attract. Due to its unique qualities, a downrigger can actually help you catch more fish.
2. Water Sport Accessories: Tubing, Kneeboarding and Water Skiing
With so many great waterways on our doorstep, there’s never been a better time to get involved in water sports! Here at Hunts Marine we stock a wide range of accessories from ski tubes, kneeboards and water ski’s to suit all levels of experience and all types of boats.
Whether you’re planning on taking the kids out for a fun day on the water or wanting to let loose with a couple of mates why not consider adding a tube or kneeboard to your boat’s armoury – it will keep them entertained for hours!
3. Simple Boat Upgrades
Sound System
Adding a sound system to your boat can help to create an awesome atmosphere! A quality marine stereo system can cater to all needs, no matter what type of music you’re into. Marine sound systems are designed to stand against the punishment that comes from being in the marine environment such as wind, salt and water.
Canopy/Bimini
On hot Summer days, a bimini top or canopy will provide a welcome bit of shade to help keep you protected on the water. Bimini tops can easily be folded down if you want to enjoy the morning sun and then opened up to protect you from the harsh sun later in the day! These types of cover will take up little space on your boat and they truly are the most effective way to keep you and your crew comfortable on the water this Summer.
