It’s A Wrap
Furuno Side Scanning Sonar
The latest rage in offshore sportfishing is Side Scanning Sonar. GYS just completed an installation of a Furuno Multi-Beam Sonar for one of its longtime customers 66’ Buddy Davis. The installation required GYS to fabricate a custom tube which allows the transducer Sound Dome to extend and retract below the vessel to scan for a variety of fish. The system can locate both structure and species from over a mile in distance and from 3 different directions. This product is a game-changer for offshore fishermen.

LLOYD’S WELDING CERTIFICATION
Our Gillen team of highly-skilled technicians were excited to train with the Smartgyro team with their factory in Italy. We know this is the future of marine stabilization. When refitting a vessel or looking for the perfect stabilization solution, Smartgyro’s unique modular construction makes the process seamless. We don’t just make installation possible. We make it easy.

WHAT TO SEE AT FLIBS & WHY!
Smartgyro – This is must-see technology. Gyros have been around for a long time, but its’ popularity continues to explode as boaters desire a smooth ride. GYS is pleased to be the first company in Florida to offer the Smartgyro state-of-the-art gyro stabilization system. The real difference is in its compact size and the ease of installation and serviceability. See Smartgyro at booth 403.
ElectroSea – Boaters are all too familiar with the problems associated with barnacles and the constant cleaning of strainers. Water flow is essential in keeping AC units and other equipment operating at top performance. ElectoSea’s Clearline system is not a gimmick – it really works and will keep growth from forming in your raw-water system minimizing and even eliminating descaling. See ElectroSea’s Clearline product at booth 1223.
Zipwake – The state-of-the-art trim tab control system is a new design for planning and semi-planing boats. The improvement in trim provides more efficient lift and less drag which ultimately delivers greater control and fewer waves resulting in better fuel economy and a more stable ride. Zipwake has been one of the most popular product requests from our customers during their yard period. See Zipwake at the Imtra booth 774.
