RIB Fender Mate smart new grab handle protection fix
New RIB Fender Mate offers RIB owners a simple, affordable answer to fender wear and untidy decks.
Star Solutions have announced the introduction of their next-generation SeaStar jackplates. The improved Gen II SeaStar Standard and Xtreme jackplates handle up to 300hp and 400hp outboards, respectively, are easier to install and adjust, and are designed to better resist the damaging effects of the harsh marine environment.
The new Gen II SeaStar jackplates are available in two models: the Standard jackplate for outboards up to 300hp and the Xtreme jackplate for those up to 400hp. To handle heavier loads, advanced composite bushings allow for smoother movement of the hydraulic rams when the jackplate is raised or lowered. Both models are available with 4", 6", 8", 10" and 12" setbacks.
Tom Douglass, vice-president of sales and marketing for SeaStar Solutions, commented: ‘Our engineers used the feedback we’ve received from our customers to make our Gen II jackplates the very best they can be. Our customers wanted more – and we’ve delivered.’
