Bocatech-Switches-Installed-Acrylic-Dash-Florida-Boats

Based in Deerfield Beach, Florida Bocatech delivers industry leading power management systems for a variety of vehicles such as RV’s, boats, trucking as well as aviation. Bocatech specializes in designing & manufacturing high quality products for over 30 years.

With a full line of Resettable switches, Non-resettable switches and Isolators, Bocatech has what you’re looking for when it comes to power management for your vehicle, land, air or sea. Below we will discuss some of Bocatech’s more popular products and what benefits they offer you as the consumer.

Bocatech’s Mini LED Navigation/ Anchor Push Button Switch is one of those featured products. It is built with 316 stainless steel components, is environmentally rugged and hosts a stylish bi-color function LED.
One switch provides two channel outputs for Nav & Anchor boat light. Because of its size the mini LED is efficient and only requires a 3/4inch hole for installation. Multiple functions are available with the press of a single button; lets go over all that it can do. First press turns on the Navigation & Anchor lights and the LED ring will turn Blue. Second press leaves Anchor light on and turns off Navigation light the LED ring will turn Red and the Third press turns all lights off.
See below pictures of a custom installation we did for a Sterling boat with an Acrylic Dash made in-house and Bocatech Switches installed.
Bocatech’s new Mini 15ADC, solid state Push Button Switch is another popular product for this Deerfield Beach based company . It is built to last with stainless steel components is environmentally rugged designed to handle the toughest conditions.
Bocatech’s self-contained, new Mini Switch delivers high power 15AD, most other switches in this size only deliver 3-5DC amps.Because of its size, the distribution can be populated more densely and still provide high current to branch circuitry. With the Mini 15ADC there is no need for external electronic control or wiring. Installation is very simple and only requires a ¾ inch hole for high current products. The Mini 15ADC won an Innovation Award at the 2015 IBEX show which highlights technology in the boarding industry.
Along with the switches offered Bocatech also has a line of isolators and automatic power selectors. The Bocatech Automatic Power Selectors provide simple, solid state solution for redundant DC power for vital electronic equipment while maintaining isolation of the DC power sources.
Bocatech offers these in 2 variations:
-The ones containing the number 1 in the model number have Schottsky diodes and a 0.3V drop @ full load.
-The ones with a model number not containing the number 1, have 0.6V drops.
The independent batteries are wired to higher torque-accepting terminals and internal diodes maintain total isolation between them. They are combined in a single output which is wired to the load. The unit is ruggedly constructed with heavy-duty wiring studs and epoxy potted components in an anodized aluminum case.
See below a custom acrylic dash that we installed a slew of Bocatech Switches to control most of the boat’s electronics. Wiring this boat was no laughing matter, but we at Next Level choose to make sure that the installation of electronics and wiring are the best you can find in Florida.
As you can see Deerfield Beach, Florida based Bocatech Switches offers consumers many different options all delivering their own benefits. Visit their site to see the other products they offer such as live wells and custom options and what sets them apart for other competition.

Hydrasports Custom Boat and Garmin

center console custom boat

A customer brought us their twin engine Hydrasports boat to add new a completely new GPS system and a couple other extra goodies like another power outlet, engine holders, and new touchscreens for the center console. After discussing the benefit of a few Garmin systems, the customer chose the GMR Fantom 124, GPSmap 7612, and GXM™53 for weather. See an overview of the products selected for this amazing boat below.

GPSMAP® 7612 – 12-inch Fully Network Capable Chartplotter

Open-array Radar with Industry-leading 120 W Solid-state Output Power

  • 4’, 120 W solid-state open-array radar with pedestal

GXM™ 53

The GXM 53 SiriusXM® weather antenna lets you enjoy added confidence and peace of mind on the water by always having access to the most current weather conditions and forecasts. Easy-to-install and easy-to-use integrated weather receiver and antenna connects to the Garmin Marine Network to deliver highly detailed weather information directly to your compatible Garmin chartplotter. It accesses current weather information, including NEXRAD, lightning, water temperatures, wind and wave current conditions and forecast data — all of which can be viewed from your chartplotter screen. And it also provides access to SiriusXM audio stations¹. Additional features and upgrades are made available as Sirius XM capabilities are added.¹

GXM 53 also recalls valid weather forecasts after a power cycle. Excellent antenna signal performance ensures you will maintain the best possible reception, even when on the fringes of SiriusXM weather coverage. Ethernet connection provides high bandwidth data transfer and power over a single cable. Provides an easy upgrade from the GXM 52 weather antenna since it uses the same mount.


Other custom work we did to this Hydrasports Custom boat starts with a new electrical outlet in the back of the boat, and two new OEM Yamaha Outboard Motor Trailer Support MAR-MTSPT-YM-10.

Torrance, Calif. (Jan. 9, 2018) – Looking to fulfill consumer requests for a large screen aftermarket system that doesn’t require custom installation, Alpine Electronics today launched the iLX-F309, an in-dash system that brings the 9-inch screen size to a variety of vehicles, the 2018 International CES taking place Jan. 9-12 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

“Alpine blazed the trail with the first vehicle-specific 9-inch systems back in 2014, targeted to trucks and SUVs, but consumers have continued to request a model that will fit into a variety of vehicles,” said Mike Anderson, vice president and general manager, aftermarket business unit, Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. “The iLX-F309 represents a new step as it brings the 9-inch screen into a number of vehicles without the need for custom installation.”

The iLX-F309 is an AM/FM/audio/video receiver with a 9-inch WVGA touch screen and mech-less design (no CD/DVD slot). It uses a 1-DIN chassis for installation but the screen “hovers” in front of the vehicle’s dash, allowing the oversize screen to be added to a variety of vehicles without the need for custom installation. The iLX-F309’s “HALO9” nickname is descriptive for the screen’s unique hovering position and its 9-inch size.

Alpine continues to be the only major aftermarket manufacturer to offer complete systems that are larger than the standard 6.1 or 7-inch screens. Up to this point, Alpine’s 9 and 10-inch models were vehicle-specific and required special dash bezels to not disrupt the layout or electronics of the vehicle’s dashboard. The introduction of the iLX-F309 HALO9 and its hovering screen now brings the 9-inch form factor into many more vehicles.

Installation Fitment:
The 9-inch screen is attached to an adjustable mount connected to a 1-DIN chassis. Once installed, the screen and mount are fixed to the chassis for a sturdy installation. The screen hovers over or in front of the dash while its rear housing tapers off cleanly at the edges for a thin and modern silhouette. At its default position, the screen’s sliding mount is pushed out, sitting at a 90-degree angle and the bottom of the screen is centered with the 1-DIN chassis. At this point, the screen can be angled at select positions to assist during installation, help with visibility, or move it away from other items on the dashboard. The screen can be positioned 20 millimeters (mm) back from its default position, to move it closer to the dashboard. It can be moved up or down 30mm from its default position and can be tilted up or down at a maximum of 45-degrees, depending on the position of the up/down location.

Entertainment Features:
The iLX-F309 has a suite of entertainment features. Its mech-less design is suited for smartphone compatibility through Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™ with the Google Assistant. Maps, music, messages and phone calls from the iPhone® or Android™ phone are controlled from and displayed on the iLX-F309’s touch screen. The iLX-F309 also has Bluetooth® wireless technology with audio streaming, a built-in HD Radio™ tuner, and is SiriusXM™ Ready (requires SiriusXM SXV300 Connect Vehicle Tuner Kit, sold separately, and SiriusXM subscription). There is a USB port for video or audio playback (FLAC [Free Lossless Audio Codec], MP3, WMA and AAC), an AUX input, and an HDMI input. A second HDMI input can be added via the KCX-630HD HDMI Selector (sold separately). A CD/DVD player can also be added via the DVE-5300 CD/DVD player (sold separately). Select factory features are retained and vehicle information is displayed when used with the iDatalink® Maestro module (sold separately, retained features and vehicle information vary by vehicle).

System Expansion:
The iLX-F309 has a rear camera input and overlays guidelines onto the camera image on the 9-inch screen to aid with distance judging (camera sold separately). Multiple cameras (for the rear and side) can be added when used through the KCX-C250MC Multi-Camera Switcher (sold separately). Electrical accessories like a light bar or motorized tonneau cover can be controlled by the iLX-F309’s touch screen when connected to the KAC-001 External Accessory Controller (sold separately),

A customer recently brought in their 2015 Regal 2800 into our shop to have new speakers, LED and SeaDek floor surface installed. We give an ultra fast turnaround on installation and the customer was very excited on how clean the installation was of all the products.

Stingray Boat Custom Detail, Seadek, and Stereo System

Boat Detail Orlando

This Stingray boat was brought in to us to have new speakers and head unit, Seadek surface installed, and a professional detail. To install Seadek Non-Skid surface, we have to scan the entire boat with a special machine that is here at our shop. Then we go to the computer that puts the measurements into the software to have another machine custom CNC cut the surface padding to the dimensions previously measured. The Stingray text is also CNC’d along with the customers desired pattern. The boat was professionally detailed from head to toe, including all of the salt water barnicles on the boat. Once the cleaning was done, we carefully install the padding surface like a puzzle.

Once Seadek, the Kicker KMC10, and 6 new Kicker speakers were installed, we had a the detailer clean and buff the boat one more time to bring color back and remove scuffs for the customer.
