Taco Marine Accessories

June 5, 2016

Make your Dad’s day on board easier all season long with a Deluxe Trident Rod Holder, Come-On Board Handle and Shore Power Cable Holder from leading manufacturer Taco® Marine.

Available in straight-mounted and offset-mounted models, the Deluxe Trident Rod Holder features a tool tray to conveniently hold fishing tackle gear and a cup holder for beverages. The strong, durable high polished aluminum three-rod holder cluster fits all standard gunnel mount rod holders and is designed to maximize rod placement and usage on board. Great for kite fishing or as a three rod holder-in-one.

Available in two versions, fixed mount and rod holder mount, the Come On Board Handle features a large grabbing surface and is ideal for boats where constant boarding is necessary. A unique finger molded handle pipe design assures a more secure and comfortable grip. The two-piece handle stores easily in a mesh bag (included) that won’t scratch boat surfaces. Additional receivers for the fixed mount model are available for multiple boarding positions on the boat.

The Shore Power Cable Holder is the ideal way for boats to be hooked up to a power source at the dock. The large ring design accommodates 30, 50 and 100 amp shore power cables and has an adjustable height ring to compensate for low or high tide settings. The holder stores easily in a mesh bag (included) for easy drying if stored wet and to avoid scratching deck or storage surfaces.

We met with Neptunus Managing Director Jan Willem De Jong this past fall to take the new Neptunus 650F out in Lake Ontario.

Sunset off St John

By Mark Stevens

I was first seduced by the United States Virgin Islands during a ferry ride from St. Thomas to Tortola to begin one of our earliest British Virgin Islands charters nearly twenty years ago.

A perfect sunset off St. John with St. Thomas views for backdrop.

Clearing Pillsbury Sound, surrounded by voluptuous emerald mountains as the ferry sliced through royal blue waters, I was struck by the unspoiled ambiance of St. John, the island gliding past our starboard beam and the irresistible charm of a village called Cruz Bay visible from our quarter stern.
