Simply put this is the best boating tool I've added to my aresnal. It's must buy. It makes docking super fast and effecient. Never worry about tying knots again. Keeps the boat secure and stable. The roap itself is also made of a material that doesn't soak up water. It stays dry. Awesome product!

This thing is amazing.  I'd forgotten how easy it is to fish without worrying about a reel.  I can easily get 20 feet from the dock.  more than enough for panfishing.  setting the hook requires a flick of the wrist and I lost very few fish once the bobber started moving.

I'm relatively new to motor boating but am entering my 3rd year now with a pontoon boat and a Merc 150 four-stroke.  I have used this additive everytime I add gas and double up for winter storage on a full 50 gallon tank.  All I can say is that I have had no issues at all with my engine thus far and based on other's reviews, I don't expect too!

I have a Mercury 4 stroke 9.9 outboard on a 12' valco boat. I had a hard time getting the boat on plane  even though I adjusted the trim on the stern bracket to the lowest holes. I was skeptical about the hydrofoil and hesitate to drill holes on my motor. The great reviews here convinced me to give it a try. I am very impressed with the difference it made. I notice huge speed improvement because I am able get on plane immediately and the boat remains on plane at a lower speed. I would recommend this product to anyone.

I grew up on the water and this little dinghy (pound for pound and dollar for dollar) is the most useful, and most fun, of any boat that I have owned.

It rows nicely, it moves right sprightly with the smallest of outboards, and, above all, it is a hoot to sail. The sail kit is well worth the money- it may seem like a lot of money, but when you look at comparable sailing dinghies you realize what a bargain it really is. This is the least expensive real sailboat that you are going to find- it is not a toy. In fact, it is one of the best little working dinghies that you are also going to find without the sail rigged.

This boat will sail in the lightest breeze- but I've also handled her in winds that frankly scared the hell out of me. Yet she has never capsized on me once- and I sail her without the RID tube.

She is practically indestructible- you can hit an obstacle flat out with bow or dagger board and you simply bounce off.

You can also load and launch her out of the back of a pick-up truck single-handed with little trouble. I've routinely drug her several hundred feet over sand. The little built-in wheel in the stern works well on grass or pavement, but not so well in sand- but it is light enough that this isn't a great problem for an adult (or a couple of kids.) You can rig the mast and sail and be underway in 15 minutes with practice.

My sole criticism is the fact that the factory sail is the type with a pocket on the luff- you CAN'T lower the sail in an emergency. If you get caught off-shore in a high wind your only option is to sail for your life.

I think my husband eat sleeps and breaths fishing, and nothing makes him happier than a new fishing tool. I ordered this YXGOOD portable stainless steel fish gripper because, while its amusing watching him fight with fish to get the hooks out I knew it would really come in handy.
The gripper is made with heavy duty stainless steak and has a nice handle that offers a secure and comfortable grip. Getting a good on a fish to remove a hook can sometimes damage the fish and even get the fisherman cut on the gills, this grip makes the job easier and I think honestly better for both.
The gripper fits easily into my husband's tool box and also has a lanyard on the end so he can keep it closer when he is fishing. These is a important tool for any fisherman and my husband told me he was impressed with how heavy duty the gripper is and that is held a 10 lbs fish for him without issue. To use the gripper you just push the lever back and set the clamp inside the fish lips. This gives a secure hold on the fish and while I am not sure of the exact limit the gripper will hold our estimations are at least 20lbs.
This gripper has been a huge help for my husband and he says all his friends are jealous over it already.
* I purchased this fish gripper at a discounted rate in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. The opinions and experiences expressed in this review are my own and in no way influenced by the discount received.

Super cool lock.  Use it gently, but its nice to able to secure all your boating things that may otherwise get stolen.  iit can fit through a small hole in your dinghy, weave through your outboard motor, through and eyelet on your boat and voila! its all secure.  Super easy and quick.  I even have some custome eyelets in my outboard dinghy cover that it fishes through really nicely.  I would buy it again.

I've installed one of these on every boat I've owned the last 30 years. You cannot buy a more reliable and cheaper performance upgrade that installs in 5 minutes.  1992 Chris Craft 208 Concept with a Ford 5.8L.  Out of the hole faster; on plane faster with lower rpm and speeds on plane.

I've also put on (StingRay Jr) on a 6hp Tohatsu 4-stroke on a 10' Achilles raft....instant results and much better control, planing and speed.

I just used this boat for the first time today, I first had purchased the Intex Excursion 5 but had to return it due to many holes on only a few uses as well as other issues. So far I'm much happier with this boat, my girlfriend and I love it and she right away knew this boat was much sturdier and made out of higher quality material than the excursion 5 but hey you get what you pay for, the extra cash will be worth it. Inflation was easy, they both weight about the same, Quality feels completely different, the Excursion 5 has a rubbery feel and can easily be over inflated due to it expanding like a balloon, the mariner 4 inflates until it's stiff and you don't need to be guessing on if you have to continue inflating it. I had purchased a motor mount kit from Intex as well for a Minkota 30lb's 30" shaft trolling motor, on the excursion, it was a pain to keep it even, it would constantly tilt up and leave the top of the blades from the motor popping out making it difficult to maneuver. The mariner 4 was easy as 123 and stayed perfectly even. I was on a busy lake on a Saturday, it trooped through the ruff waves. when we got to a calm part of the lake I stood up to cast, it's do able with the hard floor, not recommended but do able on calm waters. I'm happy with this purchase. Make sure to obviously maintain it and clean it after every trip. If you're indecisive on selection I highly recommend the Mariner 4. I'll keep updates if anything changes.

I spent the summer using this anchor with my 9' inflatable and 5hp outboard. I use the boat in the Merrimack river that has a very solid current almost all the time it seems and I rarely had a problem with this anchor losing its grip once it was set. It always held strong and was sometimes a little difficult to pull up, although I always managed. The opening/closing ring that either holds the arms out or closes them in can spin and come unlocked if you are not careful when handling the anchor. I never had a problem with it closing/opening once I had it set securely.

The best part of these anchors is they fold up and cover the pointed tips of the arms. It is perfect for a boat with a soft bottom and I was never worried I'd rip a hole in the bottom of the dingy.

I also used the anchor for my fishing kayak once or twice, worked like a champ, probably could have gotten away with a smaller anchor but it wasn't worth buying.

In all this anchor is awesome just make sure you spin the locking piece all the way closed to prevent the anchor from either unexpectedly opening/closing.

I feel like I hit the lottery with this one as Amazon was the lowest price plus free shipping and no tax on top of that.  I installed on my 2000 Cobra 201 bass boat specifically because I fish some rough water and wanted a 52" shaft version of the TM on my 20' boat vs the 45" shaft.  It also helped that the 52" was cheaper as well so it was a no brainer.  Installation was a snap and I was able to use the old mounting holes from my Motorguide (just had to remove the side plastic to review the compatible holes).  I added a recessed trolling motor kit and another battery so that my bass boat has the ultimate setup.

One tip though if you've never installed this before search Youtube as there's plenty of video's covering the proper way to install it.  I made the mistake being a Motorguide guy by installing the mount first, but the video's and documentation show you that you have to connect the TM to the mount, then the lift assist then to the boat.  If you try to install the TM last you basically create a dangerous situation with the lift assist trying to get the TM installed.  DON'T DO THAT... trust me the lift assist is under pressure and you could get seriously hurt if you mess up the installation order.  Read and follow the instructions:

1.  Unpack the TM
2.  Attach the TM to the mount
3.  Attach the screws for the lift assist
4.  Install trolling motor mount to the boat.

Great product and a welcomed upgrade to my boat.

I brought two of these and put one on my riding lawn mower. and installed one on my ski boat. very well made makes it easier to steer faster with one hand, which is needed in the boat and the rider.

I have purchased this product in hopes of eliminating several tools in my travels and am totally impressed. I fresh water fish as well as salt water fish and in my opinion every fisherman needs at least one pair of these. They are great at cutting line crimping simmers removing hooks ext. I have used these in two bass tournaments and getting ready to use them halibut salmon and tuna fishing on the Oregon coast. I will guarantee my partners there will be buying them. Cant say enough good for this tool. I have been a mechanic for 30 plus years on class 8 trucks at a Mack dealership and have several thousand dollars in tools and this is an exceptionally good tool for the money. I encourage all to purchase these if you fish you won't regret it. I will be purchasing more to complete my fishing needs. Thanks Hillbilly

Could not have done the job of replacing the tilt seals on my Yamaha outboard without this awesome tool. My 2-pin spanner wrench could not budge the cap without slipping. This 3-pin design with replaceable pins and a breaker bar on the wrench got us opened up and repaired within 90 minutes. I also bought the Seastar bracket puller to replace the seals on my steering. Could not have done that job without the puller. Marine Tech clearly knows how difficult it is to work on hydraulics and has designed and built great-looking workhorse tools that get the job done in the field.

I've been out to the river with this twice. We went over stones, rocks, hit trees and went through branches and it's still kicking. I was even able to mount a 55 lbs thrust trolling motor to it, because it has the cool slots near the edge where you can place a strong container and tie the motor to it and be king of the river.

These work great! I have them attached to my kayak, life vest, offshore tackle bag and work bench. I like them so much I've actually gifted several to my fishing crew. It's simple and reliable, it just works! No more getting your pliers to double duty as a line cutter, get a dedicated Snip!
