NEW for 2022… Introducing 2600 Makaira… the newest model in the Blue Wave Boats Hybrid Series.

By popular demand, Blue Wave Boats is now offering Navy Blue in 2022. This classicly beautiful color can be used to color your entire hull, or just as an accent. Give your new Blue Wave a totally custom look by adding Navy Blue to the underside of your T Top or to the thru-vision livewell forward!

On April 1, 2021 a new federal law goes into effect that requires the operator of a boat with an installed Engine Cut-Off Switch (ECOS) to use the ECOS link. The link is usually a coiled bungee cord lanyard clipped onto the operator’s person, Personal Floatation Device (PFD) or clothing and the other end attached to the cut-off switch, but there are plenty of variations on the market, including electronic wireless devices.  The law applies on all “Navigable Waters of the US”.

When an operator is wearing a link while underway, the engine will cut-off if the operator is separated from the operating area, an occurrence that can happen if the operator is ejected from the vessel or falls within the vessel.  The shutdown of the engine is essential for safety reasons.  If the operator is ejected from the vessel, the shutdown may prevent the operator from impacting the vessel’s spinning propeller, and may aid the operator in safely returning to the drifting vessel.

The law applies to “Covered Recreational vessels” which means any motorized boat with 3 or more horsepower that is less than 26 feet in length and takes effect on April 1, 2021.

Operator Requirement: An individual operating a covered recreational vessel shall use an engine cut-off switch link while operating on plane or above displacement speed.

An earlier law, passed by congress in 2018, required manufactures to install an Emergency Engine Cut-Off Switch (ECOS). The law passed on December 4th 2018, and went into effect 1 year later. Even though it is now a law, most U.S. boat manufacturers have voluntarily installed an ECOS on their boats for decades.

The terms Engine Cut-Off Switch (ECOS) and Engine/Propulsion Cut-Off Devices are used interchangeably to denote a system that disables the propulsion engine when the operator is unexpectedly displaced from the vessel.

Blue Wave Boats is excited to announce a new partnership with Mercury Marine. With this partnership, Blue Wave customers will be able to take advantage of even more competitive pricing, high‑performance and high‑quality outboard boat‑and‑engine packages.

 “We are very happy to extend our cooperation with Mercury Marine and offer our customers a premium product that enhances Blue Wave performance,” said Steven Parks, President, Blue Wave Boats. “Demand for large outboards continues to grow and we are excited to work more closely with the Mercury offerings,” Parks continued.

The standard t-top on our Hybrid Series, Makaira and 2800 Pure Hybrid, features a waterproof wireless charge port from Scanstrut. Keep your phone charged, dry, out of the sun and still in range to connect Bluetooth.
