IMPROVED SEWAGE TREATMENT DEVICE Raritan’s new Purasan Ex is a US Coast Guard-approved Type 1 onboard marine sanitation device for vessels up to 65 feet in length. It is electronically controlled and works in a two-minute treatment cycle. With low power consumption, it operates quietly and is easy to clean and maintain. It also alleviates the need for holding tanks. It is offered in 12 and 24V DC options and is backed by a oneyear limited warranty. $1,940 // 856 -825-4900 // raritaneng.com

HUB KITS FOR SMALLER HP ENGINES Designed for smaller 8- to 20-hp engines with a 2½ -inch gear case, the new 200-series hub kits work with Turning Point’s Hustler aluminum 3-blade propeller housings. The 200-series hubs are comprised of a one-piece bushing with corrosion-resistant, glass-reinforced nylon over brass splines that eliminate the spinning and cracking problems commonly associated with plastic splines and multi-part hub systems. A shock-absorbing polymer cushion reduces gear shock and engine/drive damage while minimizing vibration. The hubs can be reused even after most propeller impacts. $27 // 847-437-6800 // turningpointpropellers.com

BARNACLE SCRAPER The Barnapole barnacle removal tool helps boaters scrape barnacles, mussels and other crustaceans from seawalls and dock pilings. It features curved and flat scraper blades made from solid stainless steel and a handle attachment block made from solid aluminum extrusion. The Barnapole can remove up to 9 inches of buildup with each pass, and is designed to be used from the top of a dock. The Original Barnapole attaches to any standard threaded pole, such as a paint roller or broom handle (handles not included with either unit). $39.98 // 800 -92-6241 // shurhold.com
