Pontoon boat covers
The new Ameritex SureSeal playpen cover uses Taylor Made’s patented Press-and-Seal technology. The fabric has an elastomeric rubber extrusion, impervious to heat and cold, sewn onto the edges, which fits into a horizontal groove running along the underside of the boat railing. To install the cover, simply press the SureSeal insert into the groove, creating a tight, secure fit. To remove, just pull on the tabs and the seal comes right out of the groove. Ameritex also introduces a new playpen cover system that uses a four-point attachment and ratchet tension system. Installation takes less than five minutes; attach the four corner points to the deck and ratchet the line tight. Fabrics available with the new cover systems include solution-dyed polyesters and solution-dyed acrylics. Both come in a wide array of colors to match the hull.

Snad plastic adhesive snap fasteners by YKK
The Snad is a plastic adhesive-backed snap stud component designed for the marine and recreational industries. Unlike traditional metal studs, this product will not protrude. Due to its unique dome shape and low profile the Snad can be walked on or sat on with no discomfort. Great for areas where drilling is not desired, these studs will work in conjunction with most snap fasteners. Applications include fastening carpets to decks, cushions and seating, console covers and for replacing existing screw studs without the need to fill in holes. Snads are available with a flexible base as well as standard hard plastic. Two sizes available, 25 mm and 40 mm.

Titanium Nitrate needles
Titanium-nitrate-coated sewing machine needles from Groz-Beckert are available for most brand sewing machines. Titanium nitrate needles are stronger than standard needles resulting in better performance through most heavy textiles. The shape of the needle and the point contribute to less seam leakage, less needle breakage, less thread damage and less skipped stitches.
