Summer will be here soon, which means you're already making plans to spend time out on the lake with friends and family. You want to be prepared for all the fun that's bound to take place, and have as little interruption as possible. The best marine electronics manufacturing company has some great ideas for you to ensure a fun and fantastic time out on the lake this summer! In this week's blog, we will highlight a few must haves before summer arrives.  
Bring on the Fun with Towables

 It's not a day on the lake unless you take the kids tubing.  Everyone enjoys a little adventure!  Whether you prefer fast and furious or leisure water activities, there are plenty of towables out there to satisfy anyone's adventurous appetite.  Tubes of all shapes and sizes are available, you can purchase a 1 person tube or a 5 person tube.  Choose from a tube that you sit on, lay on, or they now have some enclosed tubes.   You are sure to see many smiles from riders to the guests on your boat as you fly through the water.  Always remember safety while tubing!  Every rider is required to have a life vest and once they fall in the water make sure you display a skier flag.  

Ride the Wave on the Lake

Wake Surfing has become a favorite at the Lake of the Ozarks.  Wake Surfing allows you to enjoy riding the wave like you are visiting the ocean.  With the excitement of wake surfing, there are many boards you can choose from.  They have boards for all ages and expertise.  We see surfers from the age of 2 up to adults in the 60's.  The sport is a little easier on your body that wake boarding and is exploded as a great way to spend a day on the water.  

Wakeboard Like a Pro

Wakeboarding definitely takes practice to ride like a pro.  With enough practice before you know if you will be doing a 360 and jumping the wakes while throwing down some tricks.  Buying a wake board takes a little research.  You want to make sure you get the right size for the rider to wakeboard comfortably.  If you want to learn how to ride like a pro, sign up for a wakeboard clinic or take classes with one of the pros at Lake of the Ozarks.  

Get On and Off the Lake Faster

 Stop wasting precious time mooring and waiting around for the lift to lower. With a Firstmate boat lift remote control system, you can get your boat in or out in no time and continue entertaining your friends with little work to prep or dock. More time on the lake, less time working to get there!

Make Boarding Easier for Everyone

 The quickest way to ruin a day out on the lake is by someone falling between boat and dock and twisting an ankle while trying to get on the boat. Avoid injuries this year. Get a boarding ramp to ensure you and your guests can safely board and unboard your boat with ease.


Adding these must-have boating accessories to your boat and dock will get you on the right track for fun in the sun with little down time. Be the envy of boaters all over the lake this year and enjoy this summer in style! Our boat lift remote control systems can be customized to fit any boat lift. We can also enhance your remote system by adding special lighting features to better your dock safety and ambiance. For your boat lift remote control system needs count on Firstmate Controls to get you set up for a smooth summer of boating.

  The weather outside might be frightful, but this is the perfect time to get prepared for next year's boating season! Have you found yourself daydreaming or spending time staring out at the water reminiscing about the great times you had on the water this past season?  Firstmate Controls understands your frustration. We want to share some great ideas to occupy your time during these cold winter months that will get you excited and ready for next year's boating season! Inspect Your Life Preservers Lifejackets that don't get used much and spend most of their time tucked away in the wells of your boat may not be in as good of shape as they should be. Even though they might not get used that often, they still need to be in top shape if there were an incident that arises that you will need to use a lifejacket. If yours aren't in good condition they're not going to be much help in saving a life. Take time to visually inspect every lifejacket for rips, tears, holes, etc.
