A five-gallon pail is used for a variety of reasons, including fishing, diving, carrying tools or cleaning. But, this common item can create issues when it slides all over the deck, creating a hazard or damage to delicate surfaces. Shurhold Industries' new Bucket Base is a sturdy ring designed to minimize bucket sliding and toppling, helping prevent the creation of new scratches across the deck.
Stopping problems before they happen, this non-skid, non-marking ring won't damage boat decks. It helps prevent scratches in fiberglass and teak, while keeping a bucket in place. A pail won't fall over with brushes in them either. UV resistant and durable, Shurhold's Bucket Base fits most five-gallon pails.

“They don’t make ‘em like they used to”, is a phrase that many of us are familiar with. Most of the time it is in reference to a bygone era of better, and it’s used to lament the sorry state of what we have today. It is a phrase that can be applied to many areas of our lives: architecture, art, furniture, tools. Boats? I would argue that they don’t make them like they used to. But, is that lamentable, or is it progress?
Progress, I think. With this concept in mind, as we enter another season of putting boats to bed for the winter, why do we winterize as we always have?
