Your Marine Head Units Professoinals Don’t Want You to Miss This Rare and Exciting Event\u00a0<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Raritan Engineering Company your marine head units<\/a>\u00a0analysts would like to share with you these topics we thought would be of interest to you this month regarding safety suggestions and the super moon.<\/p>\n

\n

Your marine head units experts know that the supermoon, or perigee full moon, on November 14, 2016, will bring the moon closer to Earth than it has been since January 26, 1948.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Slacken Dock Lines<\/strong>\u00a0A super-moon, means super tides,( properly called, perigean spring tides<\/em> ) and that means extra-high, and extra-low water could result in your boat either hanging from its lines–or. getting pulled under by them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Prepare for Strong Currents<\/strong> The extra tidal range will create stronger current. This will be especially apparent when transiting coastal inlets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Beware of Flotsam<\/strong> Super-high tides reach higher and farther on to shore and can cause debris like logs, discarded appliances and other items to become flotsam.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

As I write this, a “supermoon” is waxing. That bigger-than-average full moon also means bigger-than-average tides. When the tide runs farther up the beach, the water snatches more driftwood and debris from the shoreline. .<\/p>\n

A Super Moon Means Super Tides<\/p>\n

While spending time near water or on a boat can be an enjoyable way to spend a summer day, some dangerous conditions can exist if you are not properly equipped and prepared to deal with them.<\/p>\n

Dock Safety and Electricity<\/p>\n

Many boat owners choose to keep their boats at a marina as opposed to mooring them. While marinas offer customers a number of amenities, such as water, cable and electricity to charge your boat\u2019s battery or power lights and appliances, one of these perks can also lead to potential hazards. Did you know that stray electrical current from dock wiring or an electrical fault from a boat can energize the water creating an electrocution hazard?<\/p>\n

To avoid this unpredictable and deadly hazard, do not swim or allow your passengers to swim from or near docks or boats where shore side electrical connections are provided.<\/p>\n
