Answering a couple questions in discussion. * We never arrive to slide into the Shore Station at speeds greater than 2 MPH, probably no more than 1 MPH in calm waters. We have many close neighbors often in a position to witness the arrival and also judge our arrival performance. Slowly...

The Safe Harbor detects and alerts to shore stations, boat houses or bridges at 40' to 60', easily adequate time to stop or change course. Was told early, "like a pilot, who has or will land with gear up, we, or family, will forget the bimini is up"

Attached is a picture of the radar module installed, the bi-color dash mounted button displays green when bimini is raised and flashes red with buzzer when obstruction directly ahead is within 40' to 60'.

Inevitable collision with bimini shade and shore station. All my neighbors warned me that it would happen and it did last summer, forgetting to lower the bimini shade when arriving at the shore station resulted in over $2000 damage to the bimini. Dealer installed a Safe Harbor Radar...

We have another brand but with three distinct sections for each toon. As a result, there are nine individually sealed sections totally. The manufacturer welded in an automotive valve stem at the top of each of the nine compartments. These are pressurized to 3 psi, more can be dangerous. I...

Good points all. I'm 74 and often told by wife that memory is no longer a strong point...may repeat the mistake myself. But if not me, kids and grandkids for sure. I'm gambling the $18 for the kit below on Amazon. Will test without drilling holes. My main concern is distance it will detect...

Thanks, this complete unit with four sensors is only $17 so the cost is minimal. When the boat is raised on the Shore Station, I like having it tucked close beneath the Shore Station cover to minimize rain from the boat. If the Shore Station cover allowed the bimini top to be raised when the...

Recently I did what I thought would never happen to me although many more experienced said it would....I attempted a Shore Station landing with the bimini up. Expensive and embarrassing damage to the railing resulted. If I did, it is reasonable to expect that kids and grandkids may as well...
