Defender Industries

Are you familiar with the electrical system on your boat? If you aren't, you might want to familiarize yourself with it. There are times when that knowledge could come in handy. For instance, the Coast Guard doesn't care whether or not you know how to change a blown fuse. They will just give you a citation because your navigation lights aren't working! Other simple repairs you should know how to do are: replacing cables, replacing worn battery terminals, fixing electrical terminals, and splicing wires.

At Defender we carry a vast selection of marine lights from energy-efficient LEDs, extra bright halogen, incandescent bulbs to replacement bulbs. Shop our collection for every application you will need while boating including navigational, cabin, deck lights, and marine rescue & safety. According to the United States Coast Guard (USCG) regulations, your boat must have proper lighting. Specific regulations vary depending on the size and type of boat, method of propulsion, the body of water, and whether you operate it at night or during reduced visibility conditions.

When people think about boating, they might not consider some important aspects of being out on the water for extended periods of time. Just like traveling with RVs across country, your comfort for extended trips depends on having adequate plumbing - not only for the use of toilets, but also for galleys and supplying fresh water while on board. A large percentage of any aspect of boating relies on regular maintenance and inspection. Prompt repair and replacement of worn or outdated machinery is the best way to ensure a successful trip.
