Whittley upgrades for 2015
The Whittley range of trailerboats will receive some significant enhancements in the coming yearFor decades, Whittley Marine Group has prided itself on giving customers boats that offer comfort and convenience in a package that is long on standard inclusions and short on optional extras and for 2015, the manufacturer says it will be offering even more.
"When Jim Whittley started building boats over 60 years ago, he didn’t do it so he’d have his name on a hull, but rather he built boats that his family, friends and customers would enjoy owning.," said Alan Whittley, Director of Sales and Marketing for the Whittley Marine Group.
"Whittleys were a means of escape, an opportunity for families to re-connect doing something they loved with a minimum of fuss. Convenience and innovation were always at the forefront of the Whittley philosophy and it influences every single boat we build," he added.
Whittley says that it is this guiding principle that underpins the company’s premium range of sterndrive powered SL sportfishers and CR cruisers. And for the 2015 model year, Whittley reckons he’s has upped the ante again. Here are some of the highlights:
Electrics
"Low or no voltage can be frustrating, so for 2015 we’ve integrated a unique battery maintenance system with VSR (Voltage Sensitive Relay) that not only charges and maintains your batteries on the water, but plugs into mains power once the boat is home," Whittley said.
Also on the electrical front, digital one-touch membrane switching will replace traditional bulky rocker switches and panels, and individual fuses will be replaced with an easy-access circuit-breaker system.
Cockpit and boarding platform lighting now complement cabin lighting on all CR and SL models.
Easy engine flush
Flushing your engine is a pain and often frustrates the neighbours. For 2015, every Whittley powered by a Volvo Penta sterndrive comes standard with an integrated QL Neutra-Salt system that allows you to flush your engine in a mere 45 seconds – even before you leave the ramp.
Convenient Boat Buckles
Saltwater-resistant Boat Buckles will become standard, replacing traditional tie-down straps on all CR and SL factory-spec Mackay trailers. This will add to the ease and convenience of launching and retrieving your boat as well as keeping it safer while on the trailer.
More bling
The 2015 Cruiser range will get some extra bling with the addition of in-the-mould metal-flake detailing that complements the lines of the hull as well as the refreshed interiors.
