SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION Raritan Helping Boat Owners Go Green with the New Hold n’ Treat System Although being green is a hot topic today, Raritan has helped protect the marine environment for more than 50 years. Thanks to pioneering innovations such as the Lectra/San onboard waste treatment system, the New Jersey company’s name is synonymous with responsible boating. Now, Raritan is helping the owners of small- to mid-size boats go “green” with the introduction of the new Hold n’ Treat system. The first and only product of its kind for boats under 65 feet, this efficient onboard system allows owners to store their waste in No Discharge Zones and other environmentally sensitive waters and legally discharge it when they reach an approved area. “Our new system will end time-consuming trips to the pump-out station – and it also will end boat owners’ frustration when they finally get there with a full holding tank, only to find the pump-out is closed,” says Arthur Bretnall, Jr., president of Raritan. Legal in all waters, the Hold n’ Treat system combines the ElectroScan U.S. Coast Guard-certified Type I marine sanitation device (MSD) – the latest evolution of the Lectra/San – with a Type III 15-gallon holding tank. This versatile system stores waste when the boat is operating in sensitive areas. A sturdy locking switch prevents accidental discharge. When sewage can be discharged, however, the waste transfer pump moves waste from the holding tank to the MSD, where it undergoes treatment before it is safely and legally expelled.
Water purity This environmentally friendly system treats waste to a level of 10 coliform bacteria per three ounces of water, far exceeding Type I standards, as well as exceeding the standards for both swimming beaches and shellfish harvesting. It also kills viruses without the use of harmful chemicals. The degree of water purity achieved by the Hold n’ Treat system often surpasses that of the water in which the boat is floating! Extremely effective for its size, the Hold n’ Treat unit measures just 26.25" L x 18.5" W x 18" H and can process 140 gallons of waste per week. Installation of the “drop-in-place” sanitation system, which can handle up to two toilets, is simple. The system comes pre-wired, plumbed and ready to use. Easy to clean and maintain, the Hold n’ Treat available in both 12V and 24V DC models. Designed to suit the needs of a wide variety of boat owners, it can be used in salt, fresh and brackish water – when it is operated in conjunction with freshwater toilets, a separate salt-feed pump is required. The Hold n’ Treat has three settings: automatic, no-discharge and override. System status is displayed on an easyto-read LCD screen. In automatic mode, an external tank-level monitor and integrated control operates the system. Soundings

Waste is treated at low level, reserving the majority of the tank capacity for use in the no-discharge mode. A blinking red light alerts the boat owner when the tank is full. The engineering behind the versatile Hold n’ Treat system is the culmination of half a century of unparalleled experience. Today, Raritan Engineering is the largest producer of Type I MSD systems in the world. “Raritan products prove their reliability every day under the rugged demands of real-world boating,” Bretnall said. “Each product from production to packaging to end use is considered and always produced in the

Sea Hawk Mission Bay Antifouling Paint Helps Keep California’s Waterways Clean While most boat owners may not p aint t heir vesse l s gre e n , whe n i t comes to antifouling paint, they all want a “green” boat. That’s why Sea Hawk Premium Yacht Finishes recently introduced Mission Bay™, a copper-free antifouling paint, into the California market. Always on the vanguard of the environmental movement, California has recognized traditional antifoulants as being responsible for the buildup of copper deposits in the state’s bays and waterways. The new Mission Bay paint delivers superior hull protection without causing copper bioaccumulation. “We are proud to offer this environmentally friendly antifouling coating,” said Jason Revie, Sea Hawk Paints vice president, sales and marketing. “We were inspired to make a change to help solve Southern California waters’ potential copper buildup problem. Now, there’s a ‘green’ product on the market that doesn’t sacrifice performance.”
proved by the California EPA, but Lloyd’s Register also has recognized Sea Hawk in compliance with the IMO International Convention on the control of harmful antifouling systems on ships. Lloyd’s has named Mission Bay to its list of globally approved products. Sea Hawk offers Mission Bay in two versions, including the solvent-free Mission Bay CSF™ with very low VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds). Both options are available in vibrant colors, including red, blue, green, black, and white, and can be used over most competitive antifoulants after a light sanding. For a completely “green” application process, Sea Hawk also offers an entire blister-protection system containing no harsh chemicals. The Sea Hawk S-90 Waxing Etch & Cleaner is biodegradable with ultra-low VOCs to protect the hull from contaminants and eliminate wax. It is paired with Sea Hawk Tuff Stuff VOC-
compliant high build epoxy primer, which has a 20-hour overcoat window for easy application prior to applying Mission Bay. New Nautical Coatings, Inc. manufactures Sea Hawk Prem ium Antifoulants. Established in 1978, New Nautical Coatings is a family-owned and operated business that offers a wide array of products including antifouling systems, primers, solvents, and other marine coatings.

The market is ready-made. As boating consumers show an increased interest in using marine products that friendly to the environment, marine companies are responding en masse. However, Thetford isn’t a newcomer to the “green” concept. The company’s marine products have been developed using renewable resources when possible. They are environment-safe, biodegradable and non-toxic. In fact, all but two of the Thetford Marine formulas are water-based, and all have an environmentally friendly emphasis, according to Mary Burrows, manager of Chemical Development. “Our bottles are all recyclable and all HDPE bottles contain recycled material,” she said.
