The smartphone has now become the secondary interface of in-vehicle electronics. Having it charged at all times is essential, and Scanstrut comes to our rescue with this accessory. This product solves the problem of lost, broken or damaged cables on board forever.

To charge the smartphone, if it supports wireless charging, simply place it in the center of this charger.
Kicker Marine speakers are made to ensure perfect sound on the boat, even in adverse conditions, and to withstand shocks, sun and water. UV treatments on injection molded cones, Santoprene edges, and grids help maintain top performance over time. These speakers can withstand almost all weather conditions thanks to their sealed splash and splash-resistant motors. The speaker hardware is made of 316L stainless steel, impossible to corrode.
Many boats now have a refrigerator installed on board, but a super cooler can always come in handy, as outdoor enthusiasts know. Not only for those who fish, who can store their catch in here instead of in the live tank, but also for those who only have a small refrigerator. Dometic’s ice chest, here in the 36-liter denomination, can hold ice for several days, according to the manufacturer. For a small expense you secure space to keep food, drinks and water cool without the need for feeding.

The stereo allows you to control the overall volume or decide on a different volume for each speaker installed on board.

There is no electricity in the composite, which is formed by the flexible and strong optical fibers.

How do we spread the music in our smartphone throughout the boat, using the music library or streaming services such as Apple Music and Spotify? Using the brand new sound system developed by Riviera. By taking advantage of the Bluetooth connection, there will be no need to wire the audio system, making it easier to install on board and avoiding work below deck. The system can rely on 80 watts RMS per channel and allows up to 8 speakers to be connected.
