Rescue Tape® is a self-fusing silicone tape with no adhesive. When stretched and wrapped under tension, it instantly begins curing into one piece of silicone, creating an air-tight, water-tight seal that’s resistant to oils, fuels, acids, solvents, salt water, road salt and UV rays. It takes just minutes or even seconds to permanently fuse together and never comes unraveled. It never gets gummy or sticky like electrical tape or duct tape, and resists temperatures up to 500 degrees F. It’s the strongest and quickest fusing silicone tape on the market, and a refreshingly superior to rubber and vinyl tapes.

Rescue Tape® boast an impressive 700 PSI strength, so it easily repairs a radiator hose, heater hose, fuel line, wet exhaust hose, air hose, water line, or just about anything that you can wrap it around, and even works over wet, dirty or oily surfaces. This is exactly what boaters wish duct tape could do! Rescue Tape® is ideal for emergencies on and off the water. More than two-thirds of the “Vessel Assist” Rescue Boats in the USA now carry Rescue Tape® as a standard item on their boat.

Rescue Tape® is quite possibly the strongest, most useful, and most versatile repair product on the market. This is the “no-brainer” repair solution that will make you say, “Now why didn’t I think of that!”

Big Tiller Digital Throttle & Shift (DTS) offers both shifting and power steering in a tiller handle designed for 135 to 200 HP four-cylinder Verado outboard engines. Mercury is the only engine manufacturer that combines DTS in a tiller application for large horsepower outboard engines, and Big Tiller DTS is the only tiller system able to electronically control both throttle and shift function of high-horsepower outboard engines.

It provides fingertip control steering and no load shifting, and has a hydraulic lock that improves safety for boaters. Big Tiller DTS enables customers to enjoy the features of a Verado, while maximizing floor space in the boat, and is easily adaptable with four-cylinder Verado models from 135 to 200 horsepower.
