Winter is just around the corner. Hasn't this year gone by quickly? Well, at least it has for me. It seems like it was just a moment ago that the first buds of spring were coming and now it's already after Labor Day.

With the summer now officially over, that means for a lot of people it's time to get the boat ready for storage. This yearly ritual is more than just cleaning and hosing off, it's important that you take a good honest look at all your marine electronics and make sure that when you get ready to go back in the water next spring, you won't find any little surprises.

In the past I'd have been telling you to make sure that your entertainment stuff was in order, that your satellite dome was clean and in good condition, and that if you had a marine cell booster that the connections were tight and free from corrosion. Of course you should still do that stuff but…

Since last winter SolidSignal.com has added a ton of new marine products and services. The world of marine communication is changing quickly, and it's time to take a look at all the new options while there's time to get your boat outfitted.

Starlink

I'm guessing I don't need to tell you much about Starlink and what it is. This was the year that Starlink became available for marine. While it's ridiculously expensive for marine customers, that hasn't stopped a lot of people from showing a lot of interest. The Starlink marine kit doesn't come with everything boaters really need, though. You'll want extra accessories to properly mount and weatherproof your Starlink installation. Check out all our great Starlink accessories.

Garmin

Ask your average person about Garmin and they might lump it in with AOL, Palm Pilots, and other tech that's belongs to past decades. For marine customers, Garmin still leads the way with the tech you really need.

Garmin offers marine-focused smartwatches and the kind of GPS devices that boaters need. Using your phone may work while you're on the water, as long as you're within cell range. But, it's not going to tell you what you really need. It's not going to help you navigate from place to place. You need a marine GPS to do that. Check out the great selection of Garmin products at Solid Signal.

…and even more!
