    My wife and I use our Eartec Ultralite headsets everytime we are leaving our slip, fuel/pump out dock, or anytime docking. Love the clarity and convenience of them. This was our third season and they work great. A long time ago tried some old inexpensive version and it was a disaster. The new technology is great.

    Yep, Eartec for us. I only have two headsets and four batteries, I keep two batteries on the charger ready to go. If I had a larger boat and more helpers everyone would have one available.

    Dixie cups and string....works well for me! .......wait think I was one of the original instigators on this post.
    I went with the Standard Horizon with GPS. Got it, but have not put it to much use.... Just need more boat time.
