Edson Introduces NavCom Towers for
FLIR Mariner Thermal Imaging “Night Vision” Cameras

Chuck GilchrestFebruary 2008 - New Bedford, MA, USA – One of the hottest new electronics accessories for boats this season are thermal imaging “Night Vision” cameras. Once only within reach of the Megayacht owner, these cameras have gotten smaller and more affordable — and are now being installed on smaller powerboats such as center consoles, trawlers and cruisers.

To increase the versatility of one of the most popular models, the FLIR MARINER, Edson has developed two sizes of NavCom towers - designed to elevate the camera above obstructions on the T-Top, Flybridge or Radar Arch. Available in 5” (127mm) or 10” (254mm) tall versions, the towers are constructed of white powdercoated marine-grade aluminum, pre-drilled to accept the FLIR Mariner mounting base. The mounts are compact (7” diameter base) and light weight (2.5lbs and 4lbs respectively) — ideal for boats from 20’ to 100’.

Suggested retail prices and Part #’s are as follows:
5” Edson NavCom Tower for FLIR Mariner - EDS-5FLIR- $249
10” Edson NavCom Tower for FLIR Mariner - EDS-10FLIR - $282

All models are available through Edson’s network of Authorized Dealers, marine catalogs or factory direct. Further information on Edson’s complete line of NavCom mounting systems and marine accessories can be found in their catalog as well as on their web site at www.edsonmarine.com.

Edson International, celebrating its 149th year, manufactures an extensive line of marine steering systems and accessories, boat davits, radar towers and marine pumps for sail and powerboats.
