Weego’s portable battery charger can moonlight as a charger for tablets, smartphones and other USB-powered devices. The Weego 44 Jump Starter ($149) works with gasoline- and diesel-powered engines, and its orange casing has IP65 weatherproof protection. An external battery includes a 500-lumen LED flashlight with a strobe function and it can flash an SOS message.

Garmin’s GMR Fantom radars use solid-state, pulse-compression technology to maximize target detection and identification, and pulse-expansion technology to differentiate targets from noise. MotionScope Doppler technology paints targets in different colors, and Echo Trail depicts a target’s direction of travel. Fantom radars come in 4-foot ($6,999) and 6-foot ($7,499) open arrays. Both are smaller and lighter than Garmin’s previous-generation systems.
Aydin Marine‘s 17-inch Glass Bridge Lite Display ($4,800) helps boaters match their helm stations with properly sized displays to create a glass bridge. The display has dimmable, LED-backlit screens and billet-aluminum cases that provide IP68 dust and water-ingress protection on the unit’s face, with IP65 protection on its back. The monitor has 1280×1024 pixel resolution and a 5:4 aspect ratio, and it plays nicely with HDMI, DVI, VGA and composite input signals.
