The Powerhouse Ice Eater Can Protect Your Boat and Dock

You've invested a lot of time and money into your boat. It would be a tragedy to let cold weather damage your valuable property and ruin your next boating adventure. Here's a great way to protect your investment that will pay off for many years to come.

The Ice Eater is designed to prevent ice from forming around boats, marinas, docks, and piers as well as effectively melting existing ice by breaking the surface with a continuous current of warmer bottom water.

Ice Eater's propeller draws up warmer subsurface water and deflects it to the surface creating a constant circulation of warmer water that prevents ice formation. Ice Eater will melt existing ice. Unlike other de-icing units, Ice Eater requires no additional hardware in order to obtain the desired de-icing patern. Ice Eater is shipped complete with suspension lines. It can be taken out of the box, hung in place and plugged in. Ice Eater may be hung from a pier or boat. Two to three feet is the average operating depth.

Outdoors: Shad plentiful, but not salmon

Shad fishing has been good on the Connecticut River and#8212; except after significant rains, when turbidity and debris flowing downstream have turned the action off almost entirely. Forty-fish days have been followed by shutouts. A good bet is to wait a few days after a substantial rain for the river to clear.
