TRAILER ALIGNMENT DEVICE Coupler Connect® eliminates the problems many people have with trying to hook up a trailer to a vehicle by locating the trailer coupling directly over the ball without the need of assistance. Its unique mounting bracket (fits standard 1-inch diameter ball shanks) accommodates a wide range of couplers and ball mounts and allows for maximum turning radius. It comes with a mounting bracket and guide, which serves as a wheel chock when not in use.

TRACK BOATS FROM LAND The LoccaPhone combines five tracking technologies that can easily locate people and their boats. It can also be pre-programmed to call three phone numbers, one of which should be for a third-party emergency contact, as well as two others. With a LoccaPhone on board, family and friends can use WiFi tracking from a smartphone app, tablet, or desktop on land to observe boaters’ whereabouts. Safety zones can be set that will alert on-land users when the boat goes outside designated boating areas. The Locca BuddyPack includes a LoccaPhone, docking station, Bluetooth headshot, two silicon cases, and six months of data service.
