50 Years of Fun
on the Water

the most important partnerships, lasting for many decades, is with a
Swedish company called, Radab. They brought us a product commonly called the Windex, a wind vane which is very popular with sailors
around the world today.

Davis Instruments—Founded on value,
innovation and tradition.

D

The late-1980s brought the introduction of what was to become awhole new division to Davis Instruments. It began with the acquisition ofa small company called Digitar. It has now evolved into a large, innovative and world-renowned offering of weather products. Davis Weather—electronic weather stations, and web-based technologies—play a majorrole in our company today.

avis Instruments began in the 1960s. Some of the earliest
products are still with us today although many improvements
have been made to them along the way. Davis Master Sextants, a founding product, were created by Bill Davis, a tool maker withthe vision for precision-molded plastic sextants at a time when metal
sextants cost a thousand dollars or more.

Enter today’s owners and partners, Bob Selig and Jim Acquistapace.
Fresh out of Stanford Business School and unwilling to pursue careers
in a corporate cube, Bob and Jim found Davis Instruments for salein 1969. Owning their own business and applying their fresh, newly
learned business principles appealed to them. They struck a deal to buy
the company.
Over the years Davis earned a reputation of bringing simple, unique,problem-solving marine and leisure products to market. “Why didn’t I
think of that?” and “What’s new this year?” are two of the most common
questions encountered along the way.
Davis Marine has formed many partnerships over the decades tobring to market great products that serve our industry well. One of

Agriculture, municipalities, meteorologists and home hobbyists allover the world know and respect the Davis brand as being the mostrobust and accurate weather products available at the best value.

Fifty years and tens of thousands of sextants and Windex later,
Davis Instruments remains a world class leader in marine products
and electronic weather stations. Many products have come and gone,but our founding products and principles are still very much respectedaround the world today.

This story would not be complete without mentioning the many great
employees that Davis has employed over the years. Our list of 25-year
veterans continues to grow every year and the list includes a few
employees who earned their 25-year stripes 15 years ago.
What a wonderful and rewarding ride it has been!

Shockles are designed to absorb all shock loads at the dock, atanchor, on a mooring and on land. By absorbing shock loads,
Shockles quiet anchor chain noise, and extend the life of dock lines
and anchor lines by minimizing wear and chafe. When rigged
properly, jarring from tidal surge and wind waves is eliminatedincreasing both comfort and safety aboard.
Davis Instruments manufactures custom Shockles that are used tocapture fixed wing drones. The Boeing/Insitu Scan Eagle drone is

These are just two examples. If you search ‘Scan Eagle’ or ‘Insitu

Shockles are also used by the US Navy toretrieve surveillance drones and to launchautonomous vessels from moving ships.

LineSnubbers feature our progressive tension design—the morethey stretch the more tension it takes to stretch them. This minimizes
the return force and dampens shock loads better than traditional rubber snubbers. LineSnubbers attach to the line by using a traditional
clove hitch knot, or by using an optional Davis LineGrabber. The DavisLineSnubber is easily adjusted for varying conditions, and it can bereadily be moved from line to line, unlike rubber snubbers where theline is woven into the snubber.

LineSnubber is stronger than most double-braided line. For example,
SWL on 5/8 inch (16 mm) double-braid is 3500 lbs. (1590 kg). When
properly rigged and LineSnubber reaches maximum stretch, the line
bears the load, not LineSnubber. Internally, a PATENTED Line
Stretch Limiter is combined with marine-grade elastomer for durability and strength. Hollow, UV resistant nylon webbing is sewn over theinternal mechanism and two 316 stainless steel carabiners allow for
quick and easy attachment.

Shockles are strong, but should always be rigged in-line with the load.
Never allow them to bear a load alone. Allowing a maximum of eight
inches (20 cm) of slack before the line bears the load will result in many
years of service from LineSnubber.

Many LineSnubbers are going strong after ten years!

For marine applications:• LineSnubber reduces shock
to any line, cleat or groundtackle, including bow rollers
and rigging

Guaranteed

Over three decades of testimonials and 1,000,000 customers
agree that Doel-Fin delivers!
Doel-Fin is the original hydrofoil developed by an aeronauticalengineer to improve overall performance on boats withoutboard motors or outdrive units. Molded in two pieces ofguaranteed unbreakable, high-strength plastic, each foil isdesigned to flex independently to absorb shock. The positiveeffects include greater stability, consistent planing at lower
RPM, faster out-of-the-hole performance, steadier turns, higher
top-end speeds and lower bow rise at all speeds.

Improved performance on boats ofall sizes, from small
dinghies to large
ocean cruisers!

• Doel-Fin improves overall performance– even on
boats with well-designed hulls• Save up to 30% on fuel consumption• Faster out-of-the-hole for happier water-skiers• Maintain lower planing speeds without constant
throttle adjustments for wakeboarding, tubing or
beginning skiers• Less bow rise for better visibility and increased
safety• Simple 15-minute installation; hardware included

Doel-Fin was designed to produce maximum lift while minimizing drag. Creating lift
in the stern compensates for motor weight
for smoother turns, better gas mileage andless stern drag.

Doel-Fin is designed for use with small motors, big motors, andinflatable dinghies. Boats with small motors no longer “porpoise” with the bow-up when the throttle is applied and achieve
planing at lower engine speeds. Big motors benefit from lessstern suction, faster planing times and steadier turns. All thesefeatures add up to increased fuel efficiency.

Finally! A marine product thatpays you back!
All boats attract algae, grass, moss, barnacles and worm
casings, whether in salt water or fresh. Depending on where
you keep your boat, this bottom growth can be aggressiveand “set” itself to your boat’s hull in a short time.
That's why Scrubbis underwater hull cleaning is the boatowner’s best friend. Regular maintenance with Scrubbis—
typically twice a month, depending on conditions—reverses
adverse built-up. Even if you hire a diver to clean your hull,
Scrubbis means using that diver fewer times over the season. Just one of the ways Scrubbis pays you back. Your boat
is considerably faster and uses less fuel with a clean hull.
More savings are realized as regular light cleaning with
Scrubbis removes bottom growth with less paint loss thanvigorous scouring. And Scrubbis foam heads with cleaning
fins make the job easy. They're buoyant, adding pounds ofeffortless force to the scrubbing power of each upstroke.
Use with Davis FSR stain absorbing gel for an even brighter
result. FSR removes waterline stains with very little effort.
Apply, wait a few minutes, rinse.

The Scrubbis system is the easy, effective way to clean
your hull and manage its care—while it's still in the water.

Say Goodbye to Mold, Mildew andMoisture

Air-Dryr is a silent, inexpensive and effective way to combat
moisture, cold drafts and corrosion. Designed to operate anywhere continuously 24 hours a day—just plug it into any
110/120 volt outlet and leave it on. It works best when placed
low on the floor of any damp, enclosed space allowing Air-Dryrto draw in cool, moist air. The damp air is gently heated to thepoint where moisture is held in suspension (above the dew
point), then released through the top vents of the device. As
warm air rises, more damp air is drawn into the unit, where it
too is heated. The resulting natural convection circulates the airand prevents moisture from settling. In a perfect situation,
ventilation will remove the moisture laden air, replacing it withdrier air.
Air-Dryr fights humidity with a different and simpler approachthan dehumidifiers or chemicals that sometimes empty liquids
into a sink (or onto the floor when spilled!). Silent, energy efficient operation costs no more to use than a single incandescent light bulb. Designed with a thermal cut-off switch to turn
Air-Dryr off if air flow is impeded.
No switches or thermostats to set. Just plug it in and enjoy the
results.

Use at Home or Office Basements, closets,
under desks, storage units, tack rooms, pumprooms, gun cabinets, pianos

Features of both Air-Dryr models:• Attractive, neutral beige housing made ofpolycarbonate for strength and durability• Slim and stable; can be placed out of theway in confined spaces• Handle a high volume of air• Low operating cost; designed to be left on
24 hours a day

Use in RVs and Airplanes Motor homes,
trailers, cars, aircraft

Use in Boats Cabins, bilges, engine rooms,
V-berths

LISTED• Silent in operation, safe to the touch• Trouble free—no switch, fan, or thermostat• Safe for marine use—no components whichcause sparking• Air-Dry is equipped with a THERMAL CUTOFF
to prevent overheating due to blocked ventholes, but continued caution is advised.

CAUTION: To prevent fire or damage to theunit, do not block vent holes. Keep out ofwater to avoid electrical shock. Do nottouch hot surfaces. Unplug and allow theunit to cool before cleaning or storing. Do
not place on or near a hot gas or electricburner, or in an oven.

ECHOMASTER with MarineGrade Aluminum Plates

Ranked One of the World’s Best Radar Reflectors!

Giving ships a chance to see you in fog and low visibility conditions is
a must for serious boaters.

Echomaster’s full 12.5" (32 cm) diameter circular reflector plates provide 13.2 square yards (12 sq. meters) of maximum effective radarcross section in the X or 3 cm band (9–9.6 GHz frequency), based on
optimum orientation between the reflector and radar. Offers equivalentradar cross section of a conventional triangular plate reflector withapproximate 17" (43 cm) diagonal dimension.
Robust, marine-grade aluminum plates are sufficient thickness tominimize flexing; dimpled to minimize angular distortion. Tough injection-molded, captive corner latches assure minimum angle error. The
1 1/4" (32 mm) windage holes reduce aerodynamic drag and allow
assembly of the reflector around a backstay. Easily assembled ordemounted. Stows flat.

Echomaster meets U.S. Coast Guard
requirements for lifeboat and liferaft
radar reflectors under SOLAS 74/83.

12 square meters of radar cross section. Plates are made of sturdy,
stamped 1.3 mm thick aluminum withriveted nylon corner latches for quick
assembly or disassembly. Installaround a backstay using cornerblocks from #156 Mount System, or
make your own hanging bridle as
described in the 16-page Radar
Reflector Booklet included with
Echomaster.
#152 011698 01520 7$

HANGING MOUNT SYSTEM (no reflector)

7999

Use the hanging mount system to suspend your
Echomaster unit from a mast or rigging in the perfect“catch rain” position.
#156 011698 01560 3$

Echomaster’s proven superiority:1499• Ranked one of the best radar reflectors and one of
the top ten sailing products by Practical Sailor.

• Rated “superior” by SRI after the most rigorous tests
ever conducted on radar reflectors, some costing 10
times as much.

• Performance diagrams from the Admiralty weapons test, England,
showed Echomaster’s high response to incoming radar at all angles:

Make your boat visible to other vessels.
Find your way home in less than perfect conditions. Mount a radarreflector on a buoy or piling to help identify your dock or mooring.
Mark hazards to navigation to supplement official channel markings.
Install radar reflectors on specific hazards—bridges, rocks, submerged trees, sunken boats.

To SURFACE MOUNT an
Echomaster, use the cornerblocks from the #156 Hanging
Mount System with five pipe
fittings commonly found in
hardware stores.
