Winter is just around the corner. Hasn’t this year gone by quickly? Well, at least it has for me. It seems like it was just a moment ago that the first buds of spring were coming and now it’s already after Labor Day.
With the summer now officially over, that means for a lot of people it’s time to get the boat ready for storage. This yearly ritual is more than just cleaning and hosing off, it’s important that you take a good honest look at all your marine electronics and make sure that when you get ready to go back in the water next spring, you won’t find any little surprises.
In the past I’d have been telling you to make sure that your entertainment stuff was in order, that your satellite dome was clean and in good condition, and that if you had a marine cell booster that the connections were tight and free from corrosion. Of course you should still do that stuff but…
Since last winter SolidSignal.com has added a ton of new marine products and services. The world of marine communication is changing quickly, and it’s time to take a look at all the new options while there’s time to get your boat outfitted.
I’m guessing I don’t need to tell you much about Starlink and what it is. This was the year that Starlink became available for marine. While it’s ridiculously expensive for marine customers, that hasn’t stopped a lot of people from showing a lot of interest. The Starlink marine kit doesn’t come with everything boaters really need, though. You’ll want extra accessories to properly mount and weatherproof your Starlink installation. Check out all our great Starlink accessories.
Ask your average person about Garmin and they might lump it in with AOL, Palm Pilots, and other tech that’s belongs to past decades. For marine customers, Garmin still leads the way with the tech you really need.
Garmin offers marine-focused smartwatches and the kind of GPS devices that boaters need. Using your phone may work while you’re on the water, as long as you’re within cell range. But, it’s not going to tell you what you really need. It’s not going to help you navigate from place to place. You need a marine GPS to do that. Check out the great selection of Garmin products at Solid Signal.
We have a full line of products and services that are designed specifically for boat owners. We offer products from The Marine Guardian that help you track your vessel from anywhere, SiriusXM marine services like weather and fish finding, and even innovative solutions like the Blender that will help you get the most out of all your data connections no matter where you are. You’ll want to talk to an expert about these. Call us at 888-233-7563 during East Coast business hours to talk to one of our marine techs and you’ll get the customer service you deserve.
If it’s time for an upgrade to your existing vessel, you’ll find plenty of different options from new controls to radar equipment when you shop at SolidSignal.com. But we’re more than just self-service. We have a full team of marine experts who are ready to take your call. We offer services like satellite activations, tech support, and even full management of all your accounts. Never miss a bill because you’re offshore!
Call our experts at 888-233-7563 and we’ll take great care of you! We’re here for you during East Coast Business Hours and we’re ready to answer all your questions. When you call you’ll get an expert in our Detroit-area offices, not an overseas call center. Now is the time to get those upgrades done. Let us help!
