Designed to operate anywhere, 24 hours a day, the Air-Dryr uses natural convection to circulate the air. There aren't any switches, fans or thermostats required. No fan motor to fail and completely silent operation are key features. Available in sizes to handle areas of up to 1,000 cubic feet. TACO SEASPENSION PEDESTAL Taco Marine's Seaspension pedestal is a shock-absorbing system for boat seats and benches. Because typical pedestals are rigid, they transfer wave jolts directly to the seats, but Seaspension pedestals use an expertly engineered wave dampening system to absorb the vibration and pounding of boats hitting wave after wave. Models are available for a variety of seat types and sizes.
