Stern First has developed a new sliding chock system in conjuction with Weaver Industries in the USA, specifically for larger cruisers with a hydraulic swim platform. Recently fitted to both Riviera and Maritimo cruisers, this system is proving to be a big hit with larger boat owners. Contact Luke or Mitch for more information on 02 9905 5800!

Stern First have expanded their range to include solar power solutions for powerboats and yachts and have recently been appointed the Australian Distributor for the very successful PWM5 Solar Panel Controller which is manufactured in the UK.
Some of the features of the PWM5 are as follows:
The PWM5 uses pulse width modulation to connect and disconnect solar panel and battery 122 times a second. This allows for very precise control – battery voltage is held at the optimum level. Some charge controllers just disconnect when an upper voltage is reached.
The PWM5 has a full suite of charge phases. This ensures the battery is charged as quickly as possible and also protected against overcharging.
If you have more than one PWM5 charge controller you can do some clever things. You can connect a separate solar panel (up to 85 Watts) to each controller and feed the combined power into one battery. Or you can charge two or more separate batteries from a single solar panel (85 Watts max) – great for boats!
Stern First can supply all the necessary components including solar panels, batteries, wiring, PWM5 controllers and any mounting fabrication required
