owners an opportunity to research and compare the country's best
technology, mechanical and service providers.
The 26 to 29 September dates of the 2013 show mean New
Zealand's largest on water boating event is timed for boaties
looking to refresh or refurbish their boats before summer.
Many of the world's leading marine electronics and
communications brands are represented: Furuno, Garmin, Simrad,
B&G, Furuno, Navico, GME, Icom, as well as Raymarine with
their affordable, compact Dragonfly sonar/GPS, described as
a real game-changer for owners of smaller trailer boats, RIBs
and kayaks. Another supplier in this market and show exhibitor,
Ocean Signal, makes the world's smallest personal locator
beacon, the rescueMe PLB1. Electronic Navigation will showcase
their WAASP multi-beam sonar products that handle many
commercial applications.
Several exhibitors will feature new engines. The team from
the Lees Group will be talking about their newly refined Fiat
Powertrain Technologies Cursor C90 engines.
One notable example powered by the C90 is the fabulous new
ferry built for Leeward Island Services, owned by and servicing
Fiji's Musket Cove and Plantation Islands, the Malolo Cat IV.
Other exhibitors at this year's show with marine engines
include Allpower Marine with the Hyundai SeasAll range,
Cummins, John Deere, Gough Power Systems with the Caterpillar
line-up, the waterjet propulsion experts from HamiltonJet will
have one of their bigger jets on display, Hurricane Products
with Parsun outboards, Mercury with the new TDI diesel 350hp
V8, Scania, Suzuki, Lombardini and Perkins from Transdiesel,
Volpower with Volva Penta, Yamaha, Yanmar and a range from
Whiting Power Systems.
Also in the marine technology line, Pacific Tech has been
appointed the Australasian distributor for the range of range of
anti-rolling gyro stabilisers from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
Other products in the refit and refurbish line include
specialised laminating systems, adhesives, interior and exterior
fittings and paints, lighting, anchors, winches, water makers,
toilets and other marine hardware, as well as a host of fishing
rods and lures, paddles, sails, rigging and more – if it's a product
or service related to an on-water activity, it'll be at the show.
"There's an enormous range of service providers and worldclass products ready for your consideration," says the show's
CEO Michelle Khan.
Filling all three floors of the Viaduct Events Centre and
pavilions on the surrounding wharf as well as more than 150
boats on the wharf and alongside the specially-constructed marina
in the Viaduct Harbour, the Auckland On Water Boat Show is a
"must do" event for boaties of all persuasions.
