Who we are
GlobalMarineRenewable writes about kayaks, trolling motors, boats, batteries and fishing tackle: what decides whether a day on the water is good, and the repairs nobody writes down.
A note on our names: GlobalMarineRenewable is written by a small team under pen names, one name for each job. Matt G. is the name on our boating and fishing guides.
We are not marine engineers. Boating carries real risk: wear a properly fitted buoyancy aid, check the forecast before you launch, and leave fuel and electrical work you are unsure of to a marine mechanic.
How we pick the products
Our buying guides are built from the makers’ specs and manuals and from what owners report once there is wind and chop. Where a guide comes from research rather than use, it says so. Our lists usually hold 5 or 10 products, with these labels:
- Premium Choice: the high-end option, chosen for quality and performance first.
- Top Pick: what we think is the best option overall, weighing quality, price, durability and features.
- Best Value: the mid-range option.
- Best Budget: the one to buy when the price matters most.
How we update our posts
When a better product comes out, we wait to see how owners rate it, then update the list. Products and prices change all the time, so if we have missed something, please let us know.
How we make money
GlobalMarineRenewable is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. If you buy through one of our links, we are paid a small commission at no extra cost to you. It never decides what we recommend. A post a brand paid for, or one with a brand’s paid link to its product, says so in its first line.
